OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to review the outcomes of recombinant human endostatin combined with chemoradiotherapy (CRT) as primary treatment for patients with unresectable but without systemic metastatic squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the oesophagus.
METHODS: A total of 38 patients with unresectable but without systemic metastatic SCC of the oesophagus (T(4) or stage IVA) were retrospectively studied. 18 patients were treated with recombinant human endostatin combined with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)/cisplatin (CDDP)-based CRT and 20 were treated with 5-FU/CDDP-based CRT alone. Short- and long-term effects including initial treatment response, survival and treatment-related complications were assessed with a median follow-up period of 36.1 months.
RESULTS: CRT combined with endostatin resulted in a marked improvement in complete response rates (44.4% vs 30% in the CRT-alone group), and an increase in the 1-year and 3-year overall survival rates (72% vs 50.0% and 32% vs 22.0%, respectively), while the median time to progression was extended to 11.3 months in the combination group vs 8.1 months in the CRT-alone group. There were no treatment-related toxicities that could be attributed specifically to the endostatin, and the toxicities observed across the two groups are probably due to the CRT itself.
CONCLUSIONS: The short- and long-term effects of CRT combined with endostatin were an improvement over that of CRT alone in this retrospective cohort study. This combined treatment modality may be a promising treatment modality for the patients with unresectable but without systemic metastatic oesophageal cancer. Further prospective randomised control studies are needed to confirm this finding.
