There were significant differences in PFS (median PFS: 12.9 vs. 8.6 vs. 7.3 months, P = 0.003) between the group receiving radiotherapy (RT) for all lesions, the group receiving RT for partial lesions, and the CIT group, while OS was on the threshold of significance (median OS: 29.4 vs. 17.3 vs. 13.4 months, P = 0.052). No significant differences in the incidence of grade 3 or higher (G3+) treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were observed between the two groups. However, the incidence of G3+ pneumonitis (13.1% vs 1.6%, P = 0.038) were higher in the RCIT group compared to the CIT group.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>RCIT as first-line treatment for OESCC was safe and efficacious. RCIT improved PFS/OS compared to CIT without increasing the overall high grade toxicity rate. However, the increased incidence of pneumonitis due to RT implementation cannot be disregarded.</p>","PeriodicalId":21998,"journal":{"name":"Strahlentherapie und Onkologie","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142979879","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
