Objective To observe and cpmpare the efficacy and complications of hyperfractional integrated intraeavitary brachtherapy in middle-advanced squamous-cell carcinoma with the traditionsl brachytherapy.Methods In the observed group,328 patients with cervical cancer received hypeffractional integrated intracavitary after loading therapy between Jan 2004 and Jan 2005 were selected.The dose of point A was 2.5 Gy-3.0 Gy/fraction,2 fractions per week,and the total dose of reference point A was 49.8 Gy in stage Ⅱ b,52.6 Gy in stage in Ⅲb.In the control group,331 cases treated with traditional aflerloading brachytherapy between Jan 2002 and Dec 2003 were selected.The dose of point A was 5.0～7.0 Gy/fraction,1 fraction per week,and the total dose of point A was 50.1 Gy in stage Ⅱb,53.5 Gy in stage Ⅲb.In vitro irradiation began at the same time with the intracavitary brachytherapy.The whole pelvic was irradiated with 15 MV X-rays.Results In the observed group,the recent control rate of stage Ⅱb was 97.2%(104/107),94.1%(208/221)for stage Ⅲb.The 3-year survival rate was 80.5%(264/328).and the 5-year survival rate was 68.6%(225/328).The complication rate was 5.2%(17/328)for cystitis, 14.6%(48/328) for proctitis.Out of 331 cases in control group,the recent control rate of stage Ⅱb was 95.4%(103/108),92.8%(207/223)for stage Ⅲb.The 3-year survival rate was 75.2%(249/331),the 5-vear survival rate was 62.5%(207/331).The complication rate was 13.3%(44/331)for cystitis,and 32.3%(107/331)for proctitis.Conclusions Compared with combination of traditional brachytherapy and external radiotherapy,combination of hyperfraetional integrated brachtherapy therapy and external radiotherapy has no significant improvement for recent control rate and long-term survival rate,but could reduce the complication rates of cystitis and proctitis.
