摘要:
目的 探讨免疫治疗联合颅脑放疗对驱动基因阴性非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)脑转移患者的疗效和安全性。 方法 选择2020年1月—2023年12月蚌埠医科大学第一附属医院收治的108例NSCLC脑转移患者作为研究对象。根据治疗方法将患者分为单纯颅脑放疗组(单一组,60例)和免疫联合颅脑放疗组(联合组,48例),比较单一组和联合组的疗效和毒副作用。此外,将联合组患者根据颅脑放疗模式的不同进一步分为A组[全脑放疗(WBRT)]、B组(WBRT联合局部加量放疗)和C组(局部放疗)3个亚组,比较3组不同放疗模式的治疗效果和副作用。 结果 联合组的颅内客观有效率(iORR)和颅内疾病控制率(iDCR)均高于单一组[54.17%(26/48) vs. 35.00%(21/60),χ2=3.985, P=0.046;75.00%(36/48) vs. 56.67%(34/60),χ2=3.930, P=0.047],治疗期间2组的不良反应均可耐受。联合组各亚组颅内疗效比较显示B组的iORR和iDCR均高于A组(P < 0.001),毒副作用发生率在3组间差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。 结论 免疫治疗联合颅脑放射治疗对驱动基因阴性NSCLC脑转移患者安全有效,提高颅内疾病控制率的同时不增加毒副作用。 Abstract:Objective Exploring the efficacy and safety of combined immunotherapy and radiotherapy in patients with brain metastasis from driver-gene negative non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods A total of 108 NSCLC patients with brain metastasis, admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical University from January 2020 to December 2023, were selected as the research objects. Patients were divided into the cranial radiotherapy group (single group, 60 cases) and the combined immunotherapy plus cranial radiotherapy group (combined group, 48 cases) according to treatment Methods. The efficacy and toxicity of the two groups were compared. In addition, patients in the combined therapy group were further subdivided into three subgroups: group A (whole brain radiotherapy, WBRT), group B (WBRT combined with local dose radiotherapy), and group C (local radiotherapy) according to the different modes of cranial radiotherapy. The treatment outcomes and side effects of the different radiotherapy modes were compared among the subgroups. Results The intracranial Objective response rate (iORR) and disease control rate (iDCR) in the combined therapy group were higher than those of the single therapy group [54.17% (26/48) vs. 35.00% (21/60), χ2=3.985, P=0.046; 75.00% (36/48) vs. 56.67% (34/60), χ2=3.930, P=0.047]. Both groups had tolerable adverse reactions. The comparison of intracranial efficacy among the three subgroups in the combined therapy group showed that the iORR and iDCR of group B were higher than those in the group A (P < 0.001), with no significant difference in the incidence of side effects among the three groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Immunotherapy combined with radiotherapy is effective in patients with brain metastasis from driver gene-negative NSCLC. This combination improves the disease control rate without significantly increasing side effects. -
