立体定向放疗与全脑放疗局限性脑转移瘤的疗效预后分析

“…: 【目的】 探讨立体定向放射治疗(SRT)与全脑放射治疗(WBRT)在局限性脑转移瘤治疗中的疗效和预后,为合理应用SRT和WBRT提供依据65377;【方法】 选择2000年1月 ～ 2005年12月收治的转移灶≤4个且最大径≤4 cm脑转移患者60例,按照原发肿瘤类型(肺癌和非肺癌)65380;脑转移灶数目(单发和2 ～ 4个)65380;有无颅外转移和化疗与否四项因素进行匹配设计分为WBRT加SRT65380;单纯SRT和单纯WBRT治疗组,三组的治疗剂量分别为WBRT 30 ～ 36 Gy + SRT 18 ～ 20 Gy65380;SRT 28 ～ 32 Gy和WBRT 30 ～ 40 Gy,分析全组以及据原发肿瘤类型65380;脑转移灶数目65380;有无颅外转移亚组不同治疗方法在局部控制率65380;局部新病灶发生率(χ2检验)和生存率(Kaplan*9鄄Meier法和Log*9鄄rank检验)的差异65377;【结果】 全组局部控制率与局部新病灶发生率分别为80.0%(48/60)和20.0%(12/60)65377;全组患者中位生存时间13个月(3 ～ 36月),第165380;2年生存率分别是38.1%和14.3%65377;WBRT加SRT65380;单纯SRT和单纯WBRT治疗组的局部控制率分别为95.0%65380;80.0%和60.0%(P < 0.05),而局部新病灶发生率则分别为15.0%65380;35.0%和10.0%(P < 0.05)65377;WBRT加SRT65380;单纯SRT和单纯WBRT治疗组的中位生存期分别为865380;9和6个月,生存分析未显示不同治疗方法影响生存预后(P > 0.05),分层分析亦未显示不同治疗方法在不同原发肿瘤亚组中影响生存预后(P > 0.05),然而在单发脑转移患者和无颅外转移患者中,WBRT加SRT和单纯SRT治疗组的生存预后优于单纯WBRT治疗组,中位生存期分别为2365380;16和5个月(P < 0.05),以及1265380;9和5个月(P < 0.05)65377;【结论】 SRT可明显改善局限性脑转移瘤患者的局部控制率,但未行WBRT治疗的患者局部新发脑转移率明显增加65377;在预后较好的单发脑转移瘤患者和无颅外转移患者中,联合应用SRT和WBRT能显著提高生存率65377;…”
