Intra-luminal iodine-125 brachytherapy in patients with esophageal carcinoma and 3/4 dysphagia score: A feasibility study.
Purpose: To evaluate the clinical results of nasal feeding nutritional tube (NFNT)-loaded iodine-125 (125I) seeds in intra-luminal brachytherapy (ILBT) for esophageal carcinoma (EC) patients with a 3/4 dysphagia score.
Material and methods: From January 2019 to January 2020, 26 patients (female/male: 17/9, mean age: 75.3 years, dysphagia score 3/4: 6/20, mean Karnofsky score: 58.4) with EC underwent NFNT-loaded 125I seed placement for both nutrition and brachytherapy. Technical and clinical success, D90 (radiation dose received by 90% of tumor volume) and organ at risk (OAR) dose, complications, dysphagia-free time (DFT), and overall survival (OS) time were documented. Local tumor diameter, Karnofsky score, dysphagia score, and quality of life (QoL) were compared before and 6 weeks after tube placement.
Results: Technical and clinical success rates were 100% and 76.9%, respectively. The D90 and OAR doses were 39.7 Gy and 2.3 Gy, respectively. Eight cases (30.8%) experienced mild complications, but no seed loss, fistula, and massive bleeding were observed. Median DFT and OS were 3.1 months and 13.7 months, respectively. Tumor diameter and dysphagia score significantly decreased (p < 0.05), Karnofsky score significantly improved (p < 0.05), and QoL scores related to physical function, physical functioning, general health, vitality, and emotional functioning improved (p < 0.05).
Conclusions: NFNT-loaded 125I brachytherapy for ILBT is technically a safe and effective strategy for EC patients with low Karnofsky scores, and can be a bridging therapy for advanced anti-cancer treatment.
期刊介绍:
The “Journal of Contemporary Brachytherapy” is an international and multidisciplinary journal that will publish papers of original research as well as reviews of articles. Main subjects of the journal include: clinical brachytherapy, combined modality treatment, advances in radiobiology, hyperthermia and tumour biology, as well as physical aspects relevant to brachytherapy, particularly in the field of imaging, dosimetry and radiation therapy planning. Original contributions will include experimental studies of combined modality treatment, tumor sensitization and normal tissue protection, molecular radiation biology, and clinical investigations of cancer treatment in brachytherapy. Another field of interest will be the educational part of the journal.
