METHODS: From Aug. 1994 to Feb. 2001, 56 patients with clinical T1-2 esophageal carcinoma received late course accelerated hyperfractionated radiotherapy in Cancer Hospital,Fudan University. All patients had been histologically proven to have squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and were diagnosed to be T1-2NoMo by CT scan. All patients were treated with conventional fractionation (CF) irradiation during the first twothirds course of the treatment to a dose of about 41.4Gy/23fx/4 to 5 weeks, Which was then followed by accelerated hyperfractionation irradiation using reduced fields, twice daily at 1.SGy per fraction, to a dose about 27Gy/18 fx. Thus the total dose was 67-70Gy/40-43fx/40-49 d.
RESULTS: The 1-, 3- and 5-year overall survival was 90.9 %,54.6 %, 47.8 % respectively. The 1-, 3- and 5-year local control rate was 90.9 %, 84.5 % and 84.5 %, respectively.Twenty-five percent (14/56) patients had distant metastasis and/or lymph nodes metastasis alone. Eight point nine percent (5/56) patients had local disease alone. Another 3.6 % (2/56) patients had regional relapse and distant metastasis.
CONCLUSION: Late course accelerated hyperfractionated radiotherapy is effective on clinical T1-2 esophageal carcinoma.The main failure pattern is distant metastasis.展开更多
