RESUMO
Objective:To explore the prognostic factors associated with clear cell adenocarcinoma (CCAC) of the uterine cervix based on data in the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database.Methods:Clinical data were collected from 431 patients with confirmed CCAC in the SEER database from 1976 to 2017. Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method with log-rank test for comparison between subgroups. Cox proportional hazards model was used to analyze the influencing factors of overall survival (OS).Results:The median age [ M ( Q1, Q3)] of 431 patients was 54 years old (40 years old, 71 years old); there were 333 cases (77.3%) of whit. The median OS time of 431 patients was 93 months (95% CI: 47-148 months), and the 1-, 2-, and 5-year OS rates were 80.1%, 65.8% and 54.2%, respectively. The median OS time was not reached in patients with American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) stage Ⅰ, 83 months (95% CI: 21-144 months) for stage Ⅱ, 32 months (95% CI: 16-47 months) for stage Ⅲ, and 9 months (95% CI: 5-13 months) for stage Ⅳ ( P < 0.001). Median OS time was not reached in patients with SEER stage of localized lesions, 46 months (95% CI: 8-83 months) for regional lesions stage, and 9 months (95% CI: 5-12 months) for distant metastases stage ( P < 0.001). Of the patients with clear AJCC staging and some with unspecified AJCC staging, 118 received surgical treatment alone and 119 received postoperative radiotherapy, the median OS time of the two groups was 443 months (95% CI: 162-723 months) and 102 months (95% CI: 75-129 months), and the difference in OS between the two groups was statistically significant ( P < 0.001). Among the patients with AJCC stage Ⅰ, the 5-year OS rates in surgery-only group and postoperative radiotherapy group were 82.5% and 78.5%, the stage Ⅱ were 80.0% and 52.3%, and the stage Ⅲ were 27.8% and 63.3%, respectively; the differences in OS between different stages were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). Among the patients with SEER localized lesions stage, the 5-year OS rates in surgery-only group and postoperative radiotherapy group were 88.9% and 73.1%, and the difference was statistically significant ( P = 0.012); the regional lesions stage were 45.5% and 60.0%, and the difference was not statistically significant ( P = 0.568). The results of multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that AJCC staging (stage Ⅰ vs. stage Ⅳ, HR = 0.281, 95% CI: 0.178-0.543, P < 0.001; stage Ⅱ vs. stage Ⅳ, HR = 0.347, 95% CI: 0.113-0.439, P < 0.001; stage Ⅲ vs. stage Ⅳ, HR = 0.399, 95% CI: 0.030-0.145, P < 0.001), SEER staging (localized lesions stage vs. distant metastases stage, HR = 0.104, 95% CI: 0.059-0.182, P < 0.001; regional lesions stage vs. distant metastases stage, HR = 0.301, 95% CI: 0.195-0.463, P < 0.001) and whether or not receive surgery (yes vs. no, HR = 0.359, 95% CI: 0.241-0.535, P < 0.001) were independent influencing factors of OS in CCAC patients. Conclusions:AJCC staging, SEER staging and surgery are independent influence factors for OS in patients with CCAC, and postoperative radiotherapy may not provide more survival benefit.
RESUMO
Objective:The standard treatment for inoperable locally advanced esophageal cancer is concurrent chemoradiotherapy, but the survival was not satisfied. Nituzumab is a humanized IgG monoclonal antibody against EGFR. The purpose of this study is to investigate the toxicity and efficacy of concurrent chemoradiotherapy combined with nituzumab for locally advanced esophageal cancer.Methods:We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of locally advanced esophageal cancer who were treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy combined with nituzumab in Peking University Cancer Hospital from June 2015 to June 2020. Kaplan- Meier method was used for analysis. Results:Thirty Patients were enrolled this study.After a median follow-up of 22.5 months, The objective response rate was 93%. The 1-year, 2-year, 3-year overall survival rates were 83%, 57% and 41%, with the progression-free survival rates 75%, 47% and 32%, with the local-recurrence free survival rates 83%, 53% and 37%, with the metastasis-free survival rates 75%, 51% and 36%, respectively.The incidence of grade≥3 hematological toxicity was 32%. There were 16% patients experiencing grade≥3 esophagitis.Conclusion:The preliminary result of concurrent chemoradiotherapy combined with nituzumab is effective and safe for patients with locally advanced esophageal cancer.
