Brief summary
In this study, the investigators aim to compare the progression-free survival (PFS) and side effects of radiotherapy (RT) and concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) in locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients with a satisfactory tumor response (complete response or partial response) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT).
Detailed description
In this study, the investigators aim to compare the survival outcomes and side effects of radiotherapy (RT) and concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) in locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients with a satisfactory tumor response (complete response or partial response) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) with Docetaxel and Cisplatin treated using intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) or tomotherapy (TOMO).
Interventions
3 cycles of DOC neoadjuvant chemotherapy at day1,22 and 43 with docetaxel 75mg/m2.
3 cycles of DDP neoadjuvant chemotherapy at day1,22 and 43 with cisplatin 75mg/m2.
intensity modulated radiation therapy or tomotherapy
2 cycles of cisplatin concurrent chemotherapy at day 64 and 85 with cisplatin 100mg/m2.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Progress Free Survival (PFS) | 3 years after the inception assignment | PFS means assignment to the date of any local or distant progress of the disease. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Overall Survival (OS) | 3 years and 5 years after the inception of the assignment | The overall survival denote to assignment to date of death from any cause. |
| Adverse Events | Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 100 days and every 3 months thereafter for 5 years | Observe and record the toxicity profile (including but not limit to mucositis, liver and kidney function, et al.) according NCI-CTCAE (3rd edition) during the neoadjuvant chemotherapy, chemoradiation and follow-up. |
