目的 探究老年食管鳞癌患者单纯放疗、同步放化疗临床治疗效果。方法 选我院2018年1月—2020年12月期间90例老年食管鳞癌患者为研究对象,依据不同治疗方式将其分为对照组、观察组,各45例,分别接受单纯放疗、同步放化疗治疗,比较2组治疗效果及治疗安全性。结果 观察组治疗总有效率为75.56%,与对照组60.00%相近(P＞0.05);观察组疾病控制率为97.78%,较对照组84.44%高(P＜0.05);观察组放射性肺炎、骨髓抑制发生率为24.44%、77.78%,较对照组6.67%、48.89%高;且观察组放射性肺炎、骨髓抑制、放射性食管炎2级占比分别为17.78%、35.56%、57.78%,均较对照组2.22%、8.89%、24.44%高(P＜0.05)。结论 在老年食管鳞癌患者治疗中,与单纯放疗相比,同步放化疗可提升疾病控制能力,但会增加治疗不良反应,增加不良反应严重程度,因此在临床治疗中,需慎重选择。

Objective To explore the clinical effect of radiotherapy only and concurrent chemoradiotherapy in elderly patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Methods Ninety cases of elderly patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in our hospital from January 2018 to December 2020 were selected as research objects.According to different treatment methods, they were divided into control group and observation group, 45 cases in each group.They were treated with radiotherapy and concurrent chemoradiotherapy respectively.The treatment effect and safety of the two groups were compared. Results The total effective rate of the observation group was 75.56%, which was close to the control group (60.00%, P>0.05). The disease control rate of the observation group was 97.78%, which was higher than control group (84.44%, P<0.05). The incidence of radiation pneumonia and bone marrow suppression of the observation group were 24.44% and 77.78%, which were higher than that of the control group (6.67%, 48.89%). The proportion of radiation pneumonia, bone marrow suppression, radiation esophagitis grade 2 of the observation group were 17.78%, 35.78% and 57.78% respectively, higher than that of the control group (2.22%, 8.89%, 24.44% respectively, P<0.05). Conclusion Compared with radiotherapy only, concurrent chemoradiotherapy improved the ability of disease control in elderly patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, but it increased the adverse reactions and aggravated the severity of adverse reactions.Therefore, it is necessary to make a careful choice in clinical treatment.
