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

DRUGDocetaxel

3 cycles of DOC neoadjuvant chemotherapy at day1,22 and 43 with docetaxel 75mg/m2.

DRUGCisplatin

3 cycles of DDP neoadjuvant chemotherapy at day1,22 and 43 with cisplatin 75mg/m2.

RADIATIONIMRT/TOMO

intensity modulated radiation therapy or tomotherapy

DRUGChemotherapy

2 cycles of cisplatin concurrent chemotherapy at day 64 and 85 with cisplatin 100mg/m2.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Progress Free Survival (PFS)3 years after the inception assignmentPFS means assignment to the date of any local or distant progress of the disease.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Overall Survival (OS)3 years and 5 years after the inception of the assignmentThe overall survival denote to assignment to date of death from any cause.
Adverse EventsParticipants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 100 days and every 3 months thereafter for 5 yearsObserve 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.
