Abstract:
Objective To explore the short term treatment effectiveness and the side-effect of radiotherapy combined with two kinds of chemotherapy scheme on nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients with stage Ⅲ and Ⅳa.Methods One hundred and fifty nasopharyngeal carcinoma cases with stage Ⅲ/Ⅳa were randomly divided into A and B group.Patients in A group (75 cases) were received radiotherapy combined with 2 courses ((21-28) d/course) paclitaxel (135 mg/m2) + cis-platinum complexes (DDP) 80 mg/m2 chemotherapy concurrently,while patients in B group (75 cases) were received radiotherapy combined with 6 courses DDP 30 mg/m2 per week chemotherapy concurently.The short term treatment effectiveness and the sideeffect of radiotherapy combined with two kinds of chemotherapy scheme were observed.Result After the treatment,the primary lesion complete remission(CR) rate in A group and B group were 68％ (51/75),52％ (39/75).The CR rate of lymph node of neck in A and B group was 64.0％ (48/75),48.0％ (36/75) and 45.3％ (34/75),20.0％ (15/75) of primary lesion and lymph node of neck.The differences were significant(x2=4.25,3.90,10.94 ;P ＜0.05).After 3 months of treatment,there was no significant difference between A and B group in terms of CR rate of the primary lesion,lymph node of neck and primary lesion and lymph node of neck (P ＞0.05).During the treatment,the rate of bone marrow depression at grade Ⅲ in A group and B group were 38.67％ (29/75) and 21.33％ (16/75),21.33％ (16/75) and 6.67％ (5/75) in terms of the rate of grade gastrointestinal reaction at stage Ⅲ,46.66％ (35/75) and 21.33％ (16/75) regarding of oral cavity mucomembranous injury at stage Ⅲ,21.33％ (16/75) and 9.34％ (7/75) in terms of the rate of radioactivity skin destruction at stage Ⅲ.All differences were significant (P ＜ 0.05).During the short-term follow up (1-3 years),both the rate of local recurrence and the rate of metastasis in A group was as same as that in B group(P ＞0.05).Conclusion During the treatment,the side-effect of approach of paclitaxel (135 mg/m2) + DDP 80 mg/m2 in stage Ⅲ/Ⅳa nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients is more severity than that of DDP 30 mg/m2 per week chemotherapy.However,there is no significant difference in terms of the short term treatment effectiveness.The prospective efficacy needs to be further investigation.
