Abstract

Cytotoxic agents can increase the efficacy of radiation. Radiosensitizing effects (interaction within the radiation field) can be additive or supra-additive. Multiple mechanisms underlie radiosensitizing properties of cytotoxic agents and include increased radiation damage, inhibition of DNA repair, cell-cycle synchronization, increased cytotoxicity against hypoxic cells, inhibition of prosurvival pathways, and abrogation of rapid tumor cell repopulation. The agents, which have the most radiosensitizing effects, are cisplatin and paclitaxel. In addition to the classic cytotoxic agents with radiosensitizing properties several novel agents show promising interactions with radiation (e.g. EGFR inhibitors, antiangiogenic agents). Today, a sequential treatment is the standard treatment in the early stage breast cancer patients. However, concomitant chemotherapy and radiotherapy (RT) could be more appropriate to patients with high risk of recurrence, for example, in those with axillary lymph node metastases, close or positive surgical margins, large tumor size, young age and presence of lymphovascular invasion. Phase III trials are needed to define the benefits and the late effects of concomitant modern RT techniques (with 3 dimensional conformal, intensity modulated or image guided RT) with taxanes, capecitabine and targeted biologic agents in the adjuvant settings.

Özet

Sitotoksik ajanlar radyasyonun etkinliğini arttırır. Radyoduyarlaştırıcı etkileri additif veya supra-additif olabilir. Radyoduyarlaştırıcı etkide çok sayıda mekanizma rol oynamaktadır. Bunlar; artmış radyasyon hasarı, DNA hasar onarımının engellenmesi, hücre siklusunda senkronizasyon, hipoksik hücrelere karşı artmış sitotoksisite ve hızlı tümör repopulasyonunun yavaşlatılması veya engellenmesidir. Radyoduyarlaştırıcı etkisi en fazla olan ajanlar sisplatin ve paklitakseldir. Bununla birlikte, radyoterapi (RT) ile eşzamanlı olarak verildiklerinde ümit vaat eden hedefe yönelik yeni ajanlar vardır (EGFR inhibitörleri, antianjiojenik ajanlar gibi). Günümüzde erken evre meme kanserinin tedavisinde standart tedavi sıralı tedavidir. Ancak, nüks riski yüksek olan (aksillası pozitif, yakın veya pozitif cerrahi sınır, genç yaş, büyük tümör, lenfovasküler invazyon varlığı) hastalarda eşzamanlı tedavi yapılabilir. Gelecekte taksanlar, kapasitabin veya hedeflenmiş tedavilerle birlikte eşzamanlı olarak modern RT tekniklerinin (3 boyutlu konformal, yoğunluk ayarlı veya görüntü rehberliğinde RT) yüksek riskli hastalarda adjuvan tedavide kullanımının faydası ve geç etkileri ile ilgili Faz III çalışmalar planlanmalıdır.
