Abstract:ObjectiveTo study the clinical efficiency and adverse reactions of simultaneous modulated accelerated radiotherapy (SMART) and intensitymodulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in advanced cervical cancer. MethodsSixty patients with advanced cervical cancer were collected from April 2011 to April 2017 in our hospital. The 60 patients were randomly divided into experimental group (30 cases) and control group (30 cases) by using stratified randomization method. The two groups were given intracavitary irradiation and concurrent chemotherapy. The patients in experimental group were treated with SMART and the patients in control group were treated with IMRT. 95% planned target volume was 50.4 Gy/28 F in the two groups and the dose for IMRT with simultaneous integrated boost was 64.4 Gy/28 F to the planning target volume. Disease progression, survival time and adverse reactions of the two groups were compared. ResultsAt the end of radiotherapy, the experimental group had 23 patients with complete response (CR), 4 patients with partial response (PR), 2 patients with unaltered stable disease (SD), 1 patient with progressive disease (PD), and the control group had 22 patients with CR, 3 patients with PR, 3 patients with SD, 2 patients with PD. The overall efficiency of the experimental group was slightly higher than that of the control group (90.0% vs. 83.3%), but the difference was not statistically significant (χ2=0.144, P=0.704). After 3 months of radiotherapy, the experimental group had 28 patients with CR, 1 patient with PR, 1 patient with PD, and the control group had 22 patients with CR, 2 patients with PR, 3 patients with SD, 3 patients with PD. The overall efficiency of the experimental group (96.7%) was higher than that of the control group (96.7% vs. 80.0%), but the difference was not statistically significant (χ2=2.588, P=0.108). The median overall survival time of the experimental group and control group were 43 months and 38 months, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=7.087, P=0.008). The 1year survival rates of the two groups were 96.6% and 85.7%, and the 3year survival rates were 86.2% and 60.7%, respectively. There were no significant differences in the incidences of gastrointestinal reaction (66.7% vs. 63.3%, χ2=0.073, P=0.787), urinary system reaction (33.3% vs. 30.0%, χ2=0.077, P=0.781) and bone marrow suppression (83.3% vs. 86.7%, χ2=0.000, P=1.000) between the two groups. ConclusionThe efficiency of advanced cervical cancer patient treated with SMART is better than IMRT, and the adverse reactions are tolerable, which is worthy of clinical promotion.
