鼻咽癌颅神经损伤程度分级与T分期的关系

Correlation of cranial nerve injury severity and the T stage of nasopharyngeal carcinoma

目的探讨颅神经损伤程度分级与鼻咽癌患者预后的关系。方法收集2005年1月至2009年12月广州医科大学附属肿瘤医院初治伴颅神经损伤鼻咽癌患者165例,分析颅神经损伤程度与鼻咽癌远期生存的关系及其对T分期的影响。结果 165例颅神经损伤患者中,单支颅神经受损患者68例,多支颅神经同时受损患者97例,68例单支颅神经损伤患者中以外展神经损伤最为常见,发生率为47.1%(32/68)。生存率的计算采用Kaplan-Meier法,单支颅神经损伤患者5年总生存率为69.8%,多支颅神经损伤患者5年总生存率为54.3%,通过log-rank法进行生存率的显著性检验,两组差异有统计学意义(P=0.033)。结论鼻咽癌患者颅神经损伤数目与预后显著相关。在鼻咽癌T分期中对颅神经损伤进行适当的程度分级有进一步研究的必要。

Objective To study the relationship between the severity of cranial nerve injury and nasopharyngeal carcinoma prognosis. Methods 165 patients diagnosed as NPC with the cranial nerve injury were admitted into the Cancer Center of Guangzhou Medical University from January 2005 to December 2009. The severity of the cranial nerve injury and the prognosis and T stage of NPC were analyzed. Results 165 patients diagnosed as NPC with the cranial nerve injury. 68 patients had single cranial nerve injury, and 97 patients had multiple cranial nerves injury. In 68 patients had single cranial nerve injury,the abducens nerve involvement was the most common one. Survival rate was estimated using Kaplan-Meier method; the 5-year overall survival rates of the two groups were 69.8% and 54.3%, respectively（P=0.033）,and the differences were compared by using the log-rank test. Conclusion Quantity of the cranial nerve involvement was significantly correlated with Prognosis,and it is necessary to establish proper staging criteria of cranial nerve involved.
