肿瘤体积对局部进展期直肠癌预后的影响

The effect of tumor volume on the prognosis of locally advanced rectal cancer

  • 摘要:
      目的  探讨肿瘤体积(gross tumor volume,GTV)对接受新辅助放化疗(neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy,NCRT)和全直肠系膜切除术(total mesorectal excision,TME)后,局部进展期直肠癌(locally advanced rectal cancer,LARC)患者的预后影响。
      方法  回顾性分析2011年1月至2016年9月湖南省肿瘤医院收治的128例初治直肠癌患者的临床资料,均接受术前同步放化疗+TME。采用受试者工作特征曲线(receiver-operating characteristic,ROC)分析GTV截点值,用Kaplan-Meier生存分析和Cox比例风险回归模型进行预后分析。
      结果  行NCRT后T分期降期率为58.6%,N分期降期率为69.5%,总体降期率为77.3%,病理完全缓解(pathologi-cal complete response,pCR)率为16.4%,总体保肛率为57.03%。GTV的截点为79.31 mL,GTV ≥ 79.31 mL与GTV < 79.31 mL患者的3年总生存率(overall survival,OS)、无病生存率(disease-free survival,DFS)、无局部复发生存率(local relapse free survival,LRFS)、无远处转移生存率(distant-metastasis-free survival,DMFS)有显著性差异。GTV与MRI-T分期(ρ=0.236,P=0.007)、T分期变化(ρ=0.229,P=0.009)、TNM分期变化(ρ=0.219,P=0.013)及肿瘤退缩分级(tumor regression grade,TRG)(ρ=0.517,P < 0.001)相关,与MRI-T分期、MRI-N分期及N分期变化无关。
      结论  GTV与LARC的局部复发、远处转移密切相关,是预后因素之一;肿瘤体积与治疗前T分期、新辅助治疗后的T分期变化、TNM分期变化及TRG相关,与治疗前N分期及N分期变化无关。

     

    Abstract:
      Objective  To evaluated the prognostic effect of tumor volume in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NCRT) and total mesorectal excision (TME).
      Methods  This was a retrospective analysis of 128 patients with newly diagnosed rectal cancer who received preoperative concurrent chemoradiation plus TME from January 2011 to September 2016 in Hunan Cancer Hospital. The receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the gross tumor volume (GTV) cut-off point. Prognostic analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier, Log-rank, and Cox regression models.
      Results  After NCRT, T-stage declined 58.6%, N-stage declined 69.5%, and the overall TNM stage declined 77.3%. After NCRT, the pathological complete response (pCR) rate was 16.4% and the anus-protection rate was 57.03%. The GTV cut-off point was 79.31 mL. There were significant differences in OS, DFS, LRFS and DMFS between patients with GTV ≥ 79.31 mL and patients with GTV < 79.31 mL over three years. GTV was significantly related to MRI-T staging (ρ=0.236; P=0.007), T downstaging (ρ=0.229; P=0.009), TNM downstaging (ρ=0.219; P=0.013), and tumor regression grade (TRG) (ρ=0.517; P < 0.001); however, GTV was not significantly related to MRI-N staging and N downstaging.
      Conclusions  GTV is closely related to local recurrence and distant metastasis of LARC, and is an important prognostic factor. Tumor volume was significantly related to pretreatment MRI-T staging, T downstaging, TNM downstaging after NCRT, and TRG, but not to pretreatment MRI-N staging and N downstaging.
