目的:局部进展期胃癌,即使没有出现远处转移或腹膜种植,预后也极不理想。我们对局部进展期胃癌患者进行术前mECF方案的动静脉结合化疗,以评价其治疗疗效。方法:选取自2009年1月至2011年6月间我院局部进展期胃癌II-IIIC期患者38例,均由影像学确定淋巴结高度可疑转移或浸润、包绕主要血管结构,且没有发现远处转移或腹膜种植,进行2个周期的术前动静脉结合化疗后,行手术治疗。记录化疗毒性反应、临床、病理缓解率、手术并发症发生率和病死率以及1年无病生存率。结果:化疗毒性反应低,3级反应不超过10%,仅有1例出现4级反应,表现为腹泻、恶心和呕吐。38例患者中临床CR有6例,占15.8%,PR17例,占44.7%,NC13例(34.2%),PD2例(5.3%),RR为60.5%(23/38)。全部患者均施行了手术,37例患者进行了根治性手术,R0切除率为97%。病理缓解率为5例完全缓解(13.2%),21例部分缓解(55.3%),8例轻微缓解(21.1%),4例未缓解(10.5%)。手术并发症发生率为7.9%,无治疗相关死亡发生。1年无病生存率为81.6%。结论:局部进展期胃癌患者术前进行mECF方案的动静脉化疗毒性反应低,疗效理想,之后行手术完整切除后临床效果突出,是理想的治疗方法。
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of preoperative intra-artery and intravenous combination chemotherapy with ECF modification(mECF) regimen in patients with locally advanced gastric cancer(LAGC).Methods: A total of 38 patients with LAGC,were treated with a preoperative intra-artery and intravenous combination chemotherapy in Liaoning Cancer Hospital Institute between January 2009 and June 2011.Patients received an mECF regimen-a combination of intra-arterial epirubicin(50 mg/m 2 on day 1 of each cycle) and oxaliplatin(130 mg/m 2 on day 1 of each cycle) and oral capecitabine(625 mg/m 2 twice daily on days 1 to 21 of each cycle),cycled every 21 days.After 2 cycles of preoperative chemotherapy,patients with resectable tumors underwent surgery.The following data were contemporaneously recorded: toxicity,clinical and pathologic response rates,operative morbidity and mortality rates and 1-year disease-free survival(DFS).Results: Toxicity observed was low,with grade 3 toxicity in fewer than 10% of the patients and one event of grade 4 toxicity(diarrhea,nausea and vomiting).Six(15.8%) of the 38 patients had clinical complete remission(CR),and seventeen(44.7%) had partial remission(PR),no-change(NC) in 13(34.2%),progressive disease(PD) in two(5.3%),with the remission rate(RR) of 60.5%(23/38).All of the patients(100%) underwent surgery;37 of the patients had a curative resection,and the R0 resection rate was 97%.The pathologic response rate included 5 complete responses(13.2%),21 moderate responses(55.3%),8 minimal responses(21.1%),4 Poor responses(10.5%).The operative morbidity rate was 7.9% and there was no treatment-related death.The 1-year DFS was 81.6%.Conclusion: Preoperative intra-artery and intravenous combination chemotherapy with mECF in patients with LAGC has low toxicity and reasonable efficacy.Clinically responding patients have an excellent outcome after complete resection.It is a reasonable treatment option fo
