目的探讨放疗前单光子发射型计算机断层扫描(SPECT)肺血流灌注显像联合肺功能检查(RFTs)筛选发生放射性肺炎(RP)高危人群的价值。方法前瞻性入组57例接受根治性三维适形或调强放疗的Ⅲ期非小细胞肺癌患者,治疗结束后随访观察,采用NCICTC3.0标准对RP进行分级。所有患者放疗前行SPECT肺灌注扫描和RFT8以评价基础肺功能。分析肺功能损伤与发生RP风险的相关性。结果RP组肺通气功能参数有下降趋势,但没有达到具有统计学意义的程度(P值范围0.111—0.854),然而当患者放疗前用力肺活量(FVC)≤2.4L或第1秒用力呼气容积(FEV1.0)≤1.8L或平均用力呼气流量(FEF25%-75%)≤2.0L/s时发生RP的概率显著增加,具有统计学意义(P=0.017,0.026,0.042)。FVC是RP发生的独立影响因素(曰=3.045,P=O.027),但是FVC与FEV1.0、FEF25%-75%之间均具有共线性(r=0.843,0.600,P均〈0.001)。结论放疗前行肺功能检查评价患者基础肺功能,对筛选发生RP高危人群具有重要的临床价值。
Objective To investigate the value for screening high-risk population of radiation pneumonitis (RP)with single-photon emission computed tomography(SPECT) lung peffusion combining respiratory function tests (RFTs) before radiation therapy (RT). Methods A total of 57 cases with stageIII non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with radical three dimensional conformal or intensity-modulated radiotherapy were recruited and followed-up prospectively. The grade of RP was evaluated according to the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events ( version 3.0 ). All patients performed with SPECT lung peffusion and RFFs before RT to evaluate the base-line lung function. The correlation among the base-line lung function and RP occmrrence was analyzed. Results Although parameters for RFTs trend to decline in RP group, there was no statistical significance observed ( P value 0. 111-0. 854 ), however, if patient with FVC ≤ 2.4 L or FEV1.0 ≤1.8 L or FEF25%-75%≤2. 0 L/s before RT, the probability of RP occurrence was increased significantly ( P = O. 017,0. 026,0. 042, respectively ). FVC was an independent risk factor( B = 3.045, P = O. 027 ) associated with RP, but colinearity with FEV1.0, and FEF25%-75%( Pearson r = 0. 843, O. 600, respectively, P 〈 0. 001 ). Conclusions Base-line lung function tests before RT is important for screening high-risk population of radiation pneumonitis.
