Abstract:Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of Nimotuzumab combined with radiotherapy and hyperthermia in the treatment of elderly patients with locally advanced cervical cancer. Methods: The retrospective study included 62 elderly patients with locally advanced cervical cancer treated in the Oncology Department of the Affiliated Hospital of Chengde Medical University from January 2021 to December 2022. The observation group (31 cases) received Nimotuzumab injection combined with radiotherapy and hyperthermia, while the control group (31 cases) received concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Short-term and long-term efficacy, as well as adverse reactions, were evaluated. Results: In the observation group, 23 patients achieved complete response (CR), 6 achieved partial response (PR), 1 had stable disease (SD), and 1 had progressive disease (PD), yielding an objective response rate (ORR) of 96.77%. In the control group, 21 achieved CR, 5 PR, 2 SD, and 3 PD, with an ORR of 90.32%. There was no statistically significant difference in ORR between the two groups. For long-term outcomes, the 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) rates in the observation group were 87.10% and 96.77%, respectively, compared to 80.65% and 90.32% in the control group, with no significant differences. Post-treatment immune function analysis showed that CD4+ cell counts and the CD4+/CD8+ ratio increased in both groups, with a more pronounced elevation in the observation group (P<0.05). The main adverse reactions included neutropenia, diarrhea, urinary tract irritation symptoms, anemia, and mucositis. The observation group primarily experienced Grade 1 to 2 adverse reactions, with no Grade 3 or higher adverse reactions occurring. In contrast, the control group experienced grade 3 diarrhea and urinary tract irritation symptoms. The incidence of diarrhea and urinary tract irritation was significantly lower in the observation group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Nimotuzumab combined with radiotherapy and hyperthermia demonstrates comparable efficacy to concurrent chemoradiotherapy in treating elderly patients with locally advanced cervical cancer but with significantly reduced adverse reactions.
