摘要
目的探讨儿童及青少年鼻咽癌的临床特点、治疗、预后及并发症。方法回顾性分析53例儿童及青少年(≤20岁)鼻咽癌患者的临床资料。结果首发症状以颈部肿块和鼻部症状(血涕、鼻塞)最多见,分别占60.4%和20.7%,多数被误诊为颈部淋巴结炎、淋巴结结核、鼻炎、中耳炎。53例均为首次放射治疗,其中有7例因鼻咽部和颈部复发及3例颈部复发者行第二次放射治疗,照射剂量鼻咽部57~69 gy,颈部60~75 gy,常规分割外照射。22例配合化疗(PBF或PFA方案3~5周期)。放疗后鼻咽部和颈部均有复发7例,单纯颈部复发3例。5年生存率73.6%(39/53),II期5年生存率88.2%(15/17),III期及IV期66.7%(24/36)。远地转移11例(占20.8%),其中肺转移3例、全身多处骨转移6例、肝转移2例(均存活不满5年)。放射治疗后遗症主要为龋齿18.0%、颈部软组织纤维化18.0%、记忆力下降13.6%、听力下降9.0%、生长发育迟缓9.0%、张口困难4.5%、语音不清4.5%等。结论儿童及青少年鼻咽癌患者具有发病率低、病期偏晚、预后较好的特点。放射治疗效果较好,早期放射反应出现的比例高、时间早。治疗失败出现远处转移后,继续予以相应的治疗,仍可取的较好的疗效。
Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics,treatment,prognosis and complications of nasopharyngeal carcinoma in children and adolescents. Methods Clinical data of 53 children and adolescents( ≤ 20 years) with nasopharyngeal carcinoma were retrospectively analyzed. Results The most common first symptoms were neck mass and nasal symptoms( blood tears and nasal congestion) that accounted for 60. 4% and 20. 7%,respectively. The majority of patients were misdiagnosed as cervical lymphadenitis,lymph node tuberculosis,rhinitis or otitis media. All the patients had the first radiotherapy. There were 7 cases of the nasopharynx and neck recurrence and 3 cases of recurrence undergoing a second neck radiotherapy. The radiation doses were nasopharynx 57 ~69 gy and neck 60 ~ 75 gy with conventional split external irradiation. There were 22 cases combining with chemotherapy( PBF or PFA program from 3 to 5 cycles). There were 7 cases having nasopharynx and neck recurrence and 3 cases having simple neck recurrence after radiotherapy. The average 5-year survival rate was 73. 6%,stage II 88. 2% and stage III /IV 66. 7%. Distant metastasis was found in 11 patients( 20. 8%),including lung metastases in 3 cases,systemic multiple bone metastases in 6 cases and liver metastases in 2cases. Their mean survivals were less than 5 years. Radiotherapy sequelas included dental caries( 18. 0%),neck soft tissue fibrosis( 18.0%),memory loss( 13.6%),hearing loss( 9.0%),growth retardation( 9.0%),trismus( 4.5%) or unclear voice( 4.5%). Conclusion Children and adolescents with nasopharyngeal carcinoma have characteristics of low incidence,later stage of disease and better prognosis. Radiation therapy has a good effect and a high percentage of early radiation reactions. Distant metastasis could happen if treatment was failure. A better outcome could be obtained if further appropriate treatment is taken.
