Abstract
Objective: The prognosis of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) depends on the stage of the disease at diagnosis. Unfortunately, at diagnosis, most of patients have locally advanced, non-metastatic stage III or IVa disease. The study was to evaluate the efficacy and toxicities of cisplatin plus 5-fluorouracil combined with concurrent radiotherapy for locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Methods: Sixty-six patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma received chemotherapy of cisplatin plus 5-fluorouracil jointing concurrent radiotherapy; concurrent radiotherapy started on day 1 in the first cycle of chemotherapy of PF, 5-fluorouracil 500 mg/m2 intravenous infusion on days 1-5, cisplatin 80 mg/m2 intravenous infusion on days 1-3, 21 days for a cycle, a total of three cycles; nasopharyngeal lesions and positive lymph node were given a total amount of 70 Gy, prophylactic neck radiation were given the amount of 50 Gy, radiotherapy five times a week, Gy/f. Results: All patients who can be evaluated, the response rate (RR) was 100%; 1-, 3- and 5-year overall survival (OS) were 100%, 86.4%, 21.2%, respectively; 3-year, 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) were 72.7% and 18.2%, respective-ly; the average survival time and median survival time were 49.0 months and 48.5 months, respectively; the average survival time and median survival time of DFS were 46.1 months and 46.5 months, respectively. Conclusion: For patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma, who accepted RT combining concurrent chemotherapy of cisplatin plus 5-fluorouracil, clinical efficacy is satisfaction and toxicities could be tolerated.关键词
