食道がん治療における陽子線治療

2026年9月10日 更新者:Washington University School of Medicine

食道がん治療における陽子線治療の第II相試験

The investigators plan to include both operable and inoperable patients with esophagus cancer in this prospective trial. Since both proton and photon treatments are biologically equivalent, the investigators do not expect a difference in tumor control compared to intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). The investigators have a prospective experience of physician-reported toxicity and patient outcome using IMRT for patients with inoperable esophagus cancer that will serve as a comparison group. For the resectable patients receiving trimodality therapy (chemoradiation followed by surgery), the investigators will carefully track toxicity and patient outcomes prospectively. The central hypothesis is that the biologic efficacy for tumor control should be similar between protons and photons, and therefore survival measures should be similar between the two groups, but that the main difference lies in the total severe toxicities experienced by the patients undergoing therapy.

Change in Patient-reported Outcomes of PBT for Esophageal Cancer as Measured by the MD Anderson Symptom Inventory (MDASI)-Plus
時間枠:Baseline, post completion of chemoradiation, 2 months, 4 months, and 6 months

The MDASI-Plus is a reliable, validated tool for assessing cancer-related symptoms regardless of therapy or specific cancer diagnosis. Patients are asked to fill out a twenty-seven question inventory. 21 questions ask the patient about the severity of their symptoms with answers ranging from 0=not present to 10=as bad as you can imagine. 6 questions ask the patient about how their symptoms interfered with their life with answers ranging from 0=did not interfere to 10=interfered completely. The higher the score the more severe symptom experience the patient experienced.

Baseline, post completion of chemoradiation, 2 months, 4 months, and 6 months
Change in Patient-reported Outcomes of PBT for Esophageal Cancer as Measured by the EuroQol (EQ-5D) Questionnaire
時間枠:Baseline, post completion of chemoradiation, 2 months, 4 months, and 6 months

The EQ-5D is a standardized 2-part, patient-administered instrument used for direct and indirect assessment of health state utilities. The first part asks respondents to "check the ONE box [next to the appropriate statement] that best describes your health TODAY" for each of 5 health dimensions, including mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. The second part of the EQ-5D is a visual analogue scale (VAS) valuing current health state. Both the 5-item index score and the VAS score are transformed into a utility score between 0 "Worst health state" and 1 "Best health state. The higher the score the better health a patient experienced.

Baseline, post completion of chemoradiation, 2 months, 4 months, and 6 months
Change in Patient-reported Outcomes of PBT for Esophageal Cancer as Measured by the Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) Social Support Survey
時間枠:Baseline, post completion of chemoradiation, 2 months, 4 months, and 6 months

The 19-item MOS Social Support Survey was designed for use with patients with chronic diseases and measures how often different kinds of support are available, if needed. Response choices range from "none of the time" (1) to "all of the time" (5). A mean social support score for all 19 items is computed to a 0-100 scale with higher scores indicating a greater availability of social support.

Baseline, post completion of chemoradiation, 2 months, 4 months, and 6 months
Change in Patient-reported Outcomes of PBT for Esophageal Cancer as Measured by the 4-Item Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D)
時間枠:Baseline, post completion of chemoradiation, 2 months, 4 months, and 6 months

The CES-D questionnaire is a 20-item measure which evaluates depressive symptoms. This trial will make use of the validated 4-item screening version in order to reduce participant burden. Possible range of scores is 0-60, with the higher scores indicating the presence of more symptomatology.

時間枠:Baseline, post completion of chemoradiation, 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 12 months

The MDASI-Plus is a reliable, validated tool for assessing cancer-related symptoms regardless of therapy or specific cancer diagnosis. Patients are asked to fill out a twenty-seven question inventory. 21 questions ask the patient about the severity of their symptoms with answers ranging from 0=not present to 10=as bad as you can imagine. 6 questions ask the patient about how their symptoms interfered with their life with answers ranging from 0=did not interfere to 10=interfered completely.
