RESUMO
Introdução:
O carcinoma de células escamosas (CEC) do canal anal é uma neoplasia pouco frequente, correspondendo a 1-5% dos tumores intestinais. Entretanto, o risco de CEC do canal anal vem crescendo. O tratamento padrão do CEC de canal anal nos estádios II-III consiste em 5-fluorouracil infusional associado a mitomicina-C e radioterapia, desde 1974. Estudos clínicos com o objetivo de identificar novos esquemas terapêuticos mais convenientes para câncer do canal anal devem continuar.Métodos:
Pacientes com CEC de canal anal T2-4N0M0 ou T (qualquer) N1-3M0, com bom performance clínico, função renal e hematológica normais foram tratados com capecitabina 825 mg/m2 12/12 horas durante a radioterapia associada a dose única de mitomicina-C 15 mg/m2 no Dia 1. O objetivo primário do estudo foi determinar a taxa de controle local em 6 meses da associação de capecitabina, mitomicina-C e radioterapia em pacientes com câncer do canal anal. Os objetivos secundários foram determinar a taxa de toxicidade aguda graus 3-4, conforme os critérios da CTCaev4.0, taxa de resposta completa 6 semanas após término da quimio-radioterapia, sobrevida global e livre de progressão e taxa de colostomia em 1 ano. O tamanho da amostra foi calculado usando a ferramenta "estágio único de Fleming". Considerando 85% de eventos esperados (taxa de controle local em 6 meses), 1 desvio padrão e 5% de erro alfa, o tamanho ideal da amostra foi de 51 pacientes.Resultados:
De novembro/2010 a fevereiro/2014, 51 pacientes foram incluídos, sendo avaliados 43 pacientes. Dezessete pacientes (39,5%) tinham estádio II, 11 (25,6%) estádio IIIA e 15 (34,9%) estádio IIIB. O seguimento mediano foi de 23,1 meses. Entre os pacientes que foram avaliados em 6 meses, 3 (7%) apresentaram resposta clínica parcial, 37 (86%) tiveram resposta clínica completa e 3 (7%) apresentaram progressão de doença. O controle loco-regional em 6 meses foi de 86%. Em relação às toxicidades graus 3-4, observaram-se diarreia grau 3, em...ABSTRACT
Background:
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the anal canal is an uncommon malignancy accounting for 1-5% of intestinal tumors; however, its incidence has been increasing. Treatment for stage II and III anal canal SCC is infusional 5-fluorouracil associated with mitomycin and radiotherapy, since 1974. More convenient treatments for patients are needed.Methods:
Patients with SCC of anal cancer T2-4N0M0 or T (any) N1-3M0, with good performance status, normal blood, and renal function were treated with capecitabine 825 mg/m2 bid during radiotherapy associated with a single dose of mitomycin 15 mg/m2 on day 1. Primary objective was local control rate at 6 months determined by clinical examination and radiological assessment. Sample size was calculated using Fleming single stage design.Results:
From november/2010 to february/2014 51 patients were initially included, however 43 patients were assessed. Seventeen patients (39.5%) were stage II, 11 patients (25.6%) stage IIIA, and 15 patients (34.9%) stage IIIB. Four patients (9.3%) were HIV-positive, while 39 (90.7%) were HIV-negative. Median follow-up was 23.1 months. Among patients who finished the treatment and were reevaluated at 6 months 3 patients (7%) presented partial response, 37 patients (86%) had complete response, and 3 patients developed progression of the disease (7%). Regarding grade 3-4 toxicities, 10 patients (23.2%) had grade 3 radiodermitis, 3 patients (6.9%) had grade 3-4 thrombocytopenia, 5 (11.6%) had grade 3 lymphopenia, 1 patient (2.3%) had grade 3 vomiting, 2 patients (4.6%) had grade 3 diarrhea and 3 patients (6.9%) had grade 3 leukopenia. One HIV+ patient had septic shock, pneumonia, herpetic encephalitis and macrophage activation syndrome. Colostomy rate was 18.6%.Conclusions:
Capecitabine and mitomycin with radiotherapy seem to be a safe treatment for SCC of the anal cancer, with a complete response rate in 6 months of 86%.Key words
