ABSTRACT

Objective:

To explore the efficacy and safety of 192Ir three-dimensional brachytherapy combined with intensity-modulated radiotherapy in patients with unresectable advanced obstructive extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.

Methods:

A retrospective analysis of the efficacy and safety of 18 patients with unresectable advanced malignant obstructive extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma admitted to the Cangzhou Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine in Hebei province from January 2014 to January 2018.All patients were pathologically confirmed and received biliary stent implantation, followed by sequential intensity-modulated radiotherapy and 192Ir three-dimensional brachytherapy.The clinical data of all patients were collected, including gender, age, clinical stage, adverse reactions, brachytherapy dose-volume parameters, changes in bilirubin levels before and after treatment, evaluation of efficacy, local control rate and survival rate.

Results:

All patients successfully completed the treatment.Re-examination was conducted one month after the combined treatment, of the 18 patients, 16 had partial remission (PR) and 2 were stable(SD). Among them, 14 patients had tumor shrinkage after brachytherapy compared with intensity-modulated radiotherapy, and 4 patients showed no significant change.The 6-month local control rate (LC) was 94.4% (17/18). The 1-year survival rate was 55.6% (10/18), and the 2-year survival rate was 38.9% (7/18). Statistical analysis showed that after combined treatment, total bilirubin and direct bilirubin were significantly reduced, and jaundice symptoms were significantly relieved.The adverse reactions of the patient were nausea, vomiting, fever, biliary tract infection, etc.There were no adverse reactions of grade 3 or above.

Conclusions:

192Ir three-dimensional brachytherapy combined with intensity-modulated radiotherapy in patients with inoperable advanced extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma has a good local control rate and tolerable adverse reactions, but the impact on long-term survival requires a large sample of controlled studies.
