Abstract
Purpose: To study the treatment effect of concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) after surgery and its effect on postoperative swallowing function of patients with locally advanced hypopharyngeal carcinoma.
Methods: The clinical data of 84 patients with advanced hypopharyngeal carcinoma treated in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were randomly divided into experimental group and control group, with 42 cases in each group. After both groups of patients were treated with radical neck dissection, the control group received adjuvant radiotherapy while the experimental group received CCRT.
Results: The Burke score in the experimental group after treatment was significantly lower than that in the control group (p<0.001). The objective remission rate in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group (p<0.05). The jitter and shimmer in the experimental group after treatment were significantly lower than those in the control group (p<0.05). The quality of life scores of patients in the two groups after treatment were significantly higher than those before treatment (p<0.001), and the quality of life score in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group (p<0.001). And the incidence of gastrointestinal reactions and neutropenia in the experimental group after treatment was significantly lower than that in the control group (p<0.05). The 3-year cumulative survival rate after surgery in the experimental group was significantly higher than in the control group (p<0.05).
Conclusions: CCRT after surgery can effectively improve the swallowing function of patients with locally advanced hypopharyngeal carcinoma, which is worthy of promotion and application.
期刊介绍:
JBUON aims at the rapid diffusion of scientific knowledge in Oncology.
Its character is multidisciplinary, therefore all aspects of oncologic activities are welcome including clinical research (medical oncology, radiation oncology, surgical oncology, nursing oncology, psycho-oncology, supportive care), as well as clinically-oriented basic and laboratory research, cancer epidemiology and social and ethical aspects of cancer. Experts of all these disciplines are included in the Editorial Board.
With a rapidly increasing body of new discoveries in clinical therapeutics, the molecular mechanisms that contribute to carcinogenesis, advancements in accurate and early diagnosis etc, JBUON offers a free forum for clinicians and basic researchers to make known promptly their achievements around the world.
With this aim JBUON accepts a broad spectrum of articles such as editorials, original articles, reviews, special articles, short communications, commentaries, letters to the editor and correspondence among authors and readers.
JBUON keeps the characteristics of its former paper print edition and appears as a bimonthly e-published journal with continuous volume, issue and page numbers.
