Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM: Concurrent chemoradiotherapy with high-dose cisplatin (CDDP-RT) is the standard therapy for advanced head and neck cancer; however, due to CDDP-induced renal impairment, dose reduction or discontinuation is frequently required. Therefore, the identification of risk factors for renal impairment is of importance to improve the efficacy and safety of CDDP-RT. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We retrospectively investigated risk factors for renal impairment in advanced head and neck cancer patients receiving CDDP-RT. Renal impairment was defined as a >25% decrease from baseline in estimated glomerular filtration rate within 14 days after CDDP administration in the first cycle. RESULTS: Of the 82 patients analyzed in this study, 21 (26%) patients developed renal impairment. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that concomitant use of a calcium channel blocker or lower hemoglobin levels significantly contributed to the increased risk of CDDP-induced renal impairment (odds ratio=3.60, 95% confidence interval=1.04-12.40; odds ratio=0.71, 95% confidence interval=0.50-0.99, respectively), while concomitant use of proton pump inhibitors was a factor associated with a decreased risk of CDDP-induced renal impairment (odds ratio=0.20, 95% confidence interval=0.04-0.86). CONCLUSION: Renal function of patients receiving calcium channel blocker or patients with lower hemoglobin levels should be monitored cautiously when receiving CDDP-RT.
