食道癌に対する少量Nedaplatin (CDGP)/5FU放射線併用療法の臨床的検討
2002
: Recently chemoradiotherapy for esophageal cancer has been drawing public attention to the issue of quality of life maintenance for patients. Although the standard method of chemoradiotherapy is CDDP/5FU, it has been claimed that CDGP (a derivative of CDDP) alone is more effective than CDDP for the treatment of esophageal cancer due to its low nephro- and digestive toxicity. We used a small amount of CDGP/5-FU in combination with radiation instead of CDDP, for the treatment of esophageal cancer and performed clinical examination of patients. The partial response rate was 80% and the complete response rate was 50%. Major side-effects were leukopenia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia and anemia. Further study of dosage and schedule is necessary, however, CDGP/5-FU combined with radiation therapy could be used as choices of chemoradiotherapy for esophageal cancer in the future.
