Comparison of chemoradiotherapy with radiotherapy alone for early-stage extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type in elderly patients.
Leukemia & Lymphoma 2018 June
It remains controversial whether concurrent or subsequent chemoradiotherapy (CRT) provides additional survival benefits when compared to radiotherapy (RT) alone in localized extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL), nasal type We identified 248 patients from the US National Cancer Data Base who were diagnosed with localized ENKTL from 2004-2014; 68.9% received CRT and 31.1% received RT alone. Over time, the use of CRT increased, while the use of RT alone decreased (p < .001). On multivariate analysis, CRT was associated with longer OS than RT alone (HR: 0.504; 95% CI: 0.338-0.751; p < .001), while uninsured status and African-American race were associated with shorter OS. The survival advantages of CRT over RT alone persisted on propensity score matching for the entire cohort (p = .0014) and in a subgroup analysis of elderly patients (p < .001). In conclusion, patients who received CRT had significantly longer OS than those who received RT alone. These results also apply to elderly patients.
