Abstract

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of EMA-CO as an initial regimen for high-risk gestational trophoblastic neoplasia and to analysis the influenced factors. Methods: A total of 81 patients with high-risk gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (HRGTN) treated in Women Hospital Affiliated Zhejiang University from Jan 2007 to Jan 2017 whose primary chemotherapies were EMA-CO were enrolled.The International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) prognosis score of all the patients was ≥7.The relationships of different factors were analyzed by univariate and multivariate analysis. Results: Fifty-five of 81 patients (67.90%) achieved complete primary remission with single EMA-CO regimen, 12 patients (14.81%) achieved complete primary remission with EMA-CO regimen and surgery, and 14 patients (17.28%) achieved drug resistance.The univariate and multivariate analysis showed that the FIGO score (P=0.004, OR 1.336, 95%CI 1.099-1.623) was an independent predictive factor for the outcome of EMA-CO regimen. Conclusions: EMA-CO is the first-line regimen used to treat patients with HRGTN. Salvage therapies such as EMA-EP regimen and adjuvant surgery are still effective treatments. The FIGO score is an independent risk factors for the outcome of EMA-CO regimen.

目的: 旨在分析依托泊苷+甲氨蝶呤+放线菌素D/环磷酰胺+长春新碱(EMA-CO)方案初始化疗对高危型妊娠滋养细胞肿瘤(GTN)患者的疗效及相关因素分析。 方法: 收集浙江大学医学院附属妇产科医院2007年1月至2017年1月收治的81例高危型GTN患者,根据国际妇产科联盟(FIGO)的预后评分,81例患者评分均≥7分,所有患者初始化疗方案为EMA-CO,对其临床特点及其疗效进行单因素和多因素分析。 结果: 81例患者中55例(67.90%)经单纯EMA-CO化疗后达到完全缓解,12例(14.81%)经EMA-CO联合手术达到完全缓解。14例(17.28%)出现耐药。单因素(P=0.002)与多因素分析(P=0.004,OR 1.336,95%CI 1.099~1.623)均显示FIGO预后评分≥12分是EMA-CO耐药的独立影响因素。 结论: EMA-CO是高危型GTN患者有效的联合化疗方案,对EMA-CO耐药的GTN患者,补救性治疗如足叶乙甙+甲氨蝶呤+放线菌素D/足叶乙甙+顺铂(EMA-EP)联合化疗或手术仍然是有效的治疗方式。FIGO预后评分是EMA-CO耐药的独立影响因素。.
