Abstract:
Objective To compare the efficacy for aged patients with locally advanced esophageal cancer who accepted 3D-CRT with or without S-1.Methods 62 aged patients with locally advanced esophageal cancer were randomized divided into three groups in Central Hospital of Kaifeng since March,2009.The S-1 combined with radiotherapy group was 26 patients as combined group,the single radiotherapy group was 20 patients and single drug group was 16 patients.S-1 combined group patients accepted 3D-CRT,and the patients were taken S-1 from the first day,the dose was 40 mg/m2 twice a day continually 14 days and then stop 7 days.There were 2 cycles during radiotherapy.The 20 patients accepted 3D-CRT in single radiotherapy group,and the patients in single drug group were taken S-1 only,the dose was 40 mg/m2 twice a day continually 28 days and then stop 14 days within 28 days.Results The response rate was 92.31% in S-1 combined group,with 13 patients CR,11 patients PR,and 1 patient SD.The response rate was 60.00 % in single radiotherapy group,with 4 patients CR,8 patients PR and 6 patients SD.The response rate was 31.25 % in single drug group,with 1 patients CR,4 patients PR and 6 patients SD.The effect of the S-1 combined with radiotherapy group was significant better than the others (P < 0.05).The 1,2 and 3 year survival rates in each group were 76.92 %,57.69 %,42.31%,75.00 %,55.00 %,40.00 % and 68.75 %,50.00 %,25.00 %,which there is no significant difference in the three groups.The adverse reaction of hematologic toxicity in S-1 combined with radiotherapy group was little higher than the others,still there was no significant difference in the incidence rate of radiation esophagitis and radiation pneumonitis between S-1 combined with radiotherapy group and single radiotherapy group.Conclusion S-1 plus three dimensional conformal radiotherapy treatments were reliable,and the adverse reactions were mild and well tolerated for elderly patients with locally advanced esophageal cancer.
