检验和logistic回归模型进行分析。结果:淋巴结转移概率最高的前4位依次是:Ⅱb(82.79%)、Ⅶa(82.65%)、Ⅱa(60.50%)、Ⅲ区(43.86%),相关性分析显示,Ⅰb区淋巴结转移与Ⅱa、Ⅲ区相关,Ⅱa区淋巴结转移与Ⅰb、Ⅱb、Ⅲ、Ⅴa、Ⅴc区相关,Ⅱb区淋巴结转移与Ⅱa、Ⅲ、Ⅳa、Ⅴa、Ⅴb、Ⅶa区相关,Ⅲ区淋巴结转移与Ⅱa、Ⅱb、Ⅳa、Ⅴa、Ⅴb、Ⅴc、Ⅶa区相关,Ⅳa区淋巴结转移与Ⅱa、Ⅱb、Ⅲ、Ⅳb、Ⅴa、Ⅴc区相关,Ⅳb区淋巴结转移与Ⅳa区相关,Ⅴa区淋巴结转移与Ⅱb、Ⅲ、Ⅳa、Ⅴb区、Ⅴ区后缘间隙(posterior to level Ⅴ,PLV)相关,Ⅴb区淋巴结转移与Ⅲ、Ⅴa、Ⅴc区、PLV相关,Ⅴc区淋巴结转移与Ⅱa、Ⅲ、Ⅳa、Ⅴb区、PLV相关,Ⅶa区淋巴结转移与Ⅱb、Ⅲ区相关,PLV淋巴结转移与Ⅴa、Ⅴb、Ⅴc区相关(P均<0.05)。结论:鼻咽癌颈部淋巴结转移建立在上一站淋巴结转移的基础之上,基于颈部各区淋巴结转移相关性的靶区勾画可以减少中危CTV的照射范围。
Abstract
Background and purpose: The research on radiotherapy clinical target volume (CTV) delineation based on the correlation analysis between neck node levels of nasopharyngeal carcinoma has not been reported. We retrospectively analyzed 709 cases of nasopharyngeal carcinoma with cervical lymph node metastasis
and aimed to provide a preliminary opinion for the CTV delineation of nasopharyngeal ca
rcinoma based on the correlation analysis of node involvement in each neck node level. Methods: Based on the 2013 updated guideline of delineation of the neck node levels for head and neck tumors
we analyzed 709 nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients with cervical lymph node metastasis in the General Hospital of Western Theater Command from December 2011 to June 2018. The correlations between different levels were studied using χ
2
test and logistic regression model. Results: The top four node levels with the highest probability of metastasis were level Ⅱb (82.79%)
level Ⅶa (82.65%)
level Ⅱa (60.50%) and level Ⅲ (43.86%). Correlation analysis showed the lymph node metastasis in level Ⅰb was correlated with level Ⅱa and Ⅲ
level Ⅱa was correlated with level Ⅰb
Ⅱb
Ⅲ
Ⅴa and Ⅴc
level Ⅱb was correlated with level Ⅱa
Ⅲ
Ⅳa
Ⅴa
Ⅴb and Ⅶa
level Ⅲ was correlated with level Ⅱa
Ⅱb
Ⅳa
Ⅴa
Ⅴb
Ⅴc and Ⅶa
level Ⅳa was correlated with level Ⅱa
Ⅱb
Ⅲ
Ⅳb
Ⅴa and Ⅴc
level Ⅳb was correlated with level Ⅳa
level Ⅴa was correlated with level Ⅱb
Ⅲ
Ⅳa
Ⅴb and posterior to level Ⅴ (PLV)
level Ⅴb was correlated with level Ⅲ
Ⅴa
Ⅴc and PLV
level Ⅴc was correlated with level Ⅱa
Ⅲ
Ⅳa
Ⅴb and PLV
level Ⅶa was correlated with level Ⅱb and Ⅲ
and the PLV region was correlated with level Ⅴa
Ⅴb and Ⅴc (all P<0.05). Conclusion: The lower cervical node involvement is based on the lymph node metastasis of upper levels. The delineation of intermediate risk CTV can be reduced based on the correlation analysis of neck node levels.
