Abstract:
Objective To investigate the efficacy and side effect of induction chemotherapy plus concurrent chemoradiotherapy ( IMRT) in the treatment of 81 patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma ( NPC) . Methods 81 patients with locally advanced NPC were divided into the vinorelbine group and fluorouracil group . Patients in the vinorelbine group were given vinorelbine 25-30mg/m2 d1,d8,DDP 75mg/m2 ,d1-d3.Patients in the fluorouracil group were given DDP 75mg/m2,d1-d3,fluorouracil 750 mg/m2 d1-d5.The treatment schedules were recycled every 3 weeks.After 2-4 cycles, the patients received concurrent chemoradiotherapy .In the vinorelbine group,IMRT with NVB 25-30mg/m2,DDP 40mg d1,d8,d22,d29,d43,d51 from the first day of IMRT.In the fluorou-racil group,IMRT with fluorouracil 750mg/m2 ,DDP 25/m2 d1,d8,d22,d29,d43,d51 from the first day of IMRT. Results The overall leukopenia and thrombocytopenia decline was 47.5% vs 24.4% in patients with Ⅲ and Ⅳgrade(χ2 =4.73,P<0.05).5-year locoregional relapse-free survival rates were 85.0% vs 65.9%(χ2 =4.05,P<0.05).5-year overall survival rates were 85.0%vs 68.3%(χ2 =3.18,P<0.05).Conclusion NP regiment induc-tion chemotherapy plus concurrent chemoradiotherapy for advanced NPC can achieve better result in clinical response and 5-year locoregional relapse-free survival rate compared with FP and the effect is clinically acceptable .
