Abstract

Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of pegaspargase, gemcitabine, and oxaliplatin(P-Gemox) chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy in the treatment of newly diagnosed, stage IE to IIE of Extranodal nasal type natural killer/T-cell lymphoma(ENKTL) patients.Method: P-Gemox chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy was used to analyze its clinical value and the factors affecting the prognosis in the treatment of 43 newly diagnosed ENKTL patients. In addition, toxicity related to chemotherapy was assessed. Result: The complete remission rate was 86.05% in 43 patients,the partial remission rate was 6.98%, and the total effective rate was 93.02%.Chi-square analysis showed tumor diameter, clinical stage and ECOG points were significant independent factors impacting on complete remission rate(P =0.025, 0.042, 0.037).The 1-year and 3-year overall survival rate and progression-free survival rate of 43 patients were 95.35% and 83.7%, 93.02% and 79.07%, respectively. Coxproportional analysis showed that tumor diameter and Ann Arbor stage were signifcant factors affecting overall survival(P =0.016,0.025).Adverse reactions caused by the P-Gemox chemotherapy regimen are mild and more common in grades I to II. Conclusion: The P-Gem...Continue Reading
