Radiotherapy for unresectable advanced pancreatic cancer
Objective:To study the treatment result of the unresectable advanced pancreatic cancer by radiotherapy. Methods: A total of 16 patients with unresectable advanced pancreatic cancer were treated by radiotherapy from March 1996 to December 2001. According to TNM staging system
there are 5 patients in stage II
6 in stage Ⅲ and 5 in stage Ⅳ. Karnofsky score were ranged from 30~70. Eight patients were treated by the conventional fractionation (1.8~2.0 cGy/f
5f/w)
and eight patients treated by non-conventional fractionation(1.2~1.8Gy/f
2~3f/d).The radiation dose was<40Gy for 3 cases
50~60Gy for 4 cases
61~70Gy for 6 cases
>70Gy for 3 cases. Results:The remission rate was 85.7 percent. The median survival course was 9.2 months(3~30months). 1-year survival rate was 31.25 percent. The pretreatment performance status and TNM stage were important prognostic factors. Both groups of Karnofsky score 60~70 and stageⅡ
Ⅲ showed a highly significantsurvival improvement when compared with groups of Karnofsky score 30~50and stage IV ( P <0.01). Conclusion:Radiotherapy is able to relieve symptoms
prolong survival time and improve life quality for patients with unresectable advanced cancer of pancreas.
