This study compared the prognosis of concurrent chemo-radiotherapy (CCRT) versus sequential chemo-radiotherapy (SCRT) induction followed by surgical resection in patients with advanced thymic epithelial tumors (TETs). The study found no significant differences in induction response rate and surgical complete resection rate between CCRT and SCRT groups, but CCRT had significantly higher adverse events in the hematologic system.
BackgroundThis study aimed to evaluate the prognosis of concurrent chemo-radiotherapy (CCRT) versus sequential chemo-radiotherapy (SCRT) induction followed by surgical resection in patients with advanced thymic epithelial tumors (TETs).MethodsThis retrospective study included patients with advanced TETs who underwent CCRT or SCRT induction followed by surgical resection at the Second General Hospital of Guangdong Province between January 2008 and December 2019. The primary outcomes were induction response rate and surgical complete resection rate. The secondary outcomes were surgery combined resection, post-induction T staging, postoperative TNM staging, postoperative pathological tumor regression grade, progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), and adverse events (AEs).ResultsA total of 31 patients were included, 15 of whom received CCRT and the other 16 SCRT. The induction response rates were 80.0 and 62.5%, respectively, the post-induction step-down rates were 46.7 and 31.3%, respectively, and the post-induction R0 resection rates were 80.0 and 68.8%, respectively, without significant differences between CCRT and SCRT groups (all P > 0.05). The 5-year OS rate was 64.2 and 51.6%, respectively, and PFS was 42.3 and 21.4%, respectively, without significant differences between CCRT and SCRT groups (both P > 0.05). AEs in the hematologic system were significantly higher with CCRT compared with SCRT (P = 0.009).ConclusionsPatients with advanced TETs might have a good prognosis with both CCRT and SCRT induction therapy, while SCRT induction may result in a lower probability of AEs in the hematologic system.
