Concurrent chemoradiotherapy with nedaplatin plus paclitaxel or fluorouracil for locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma: Survival and toxicity.
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to review the survival and toxicity in patients with locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) treated with intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and concurrent nedaplatin plus paclitaxel or fluorouracil (NP or NF). METHODS A total of 155 patients with locoregionally advanced NPC seen at our institution between January 2008 and Dece...
متن کاملConcurrent chemoradiotherapy versus radiotherapy alone for locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
OBJECTIVE To compare the clinical effects of concurrent radiochemotherapy with those of radiotherapy in treating locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (Stage III~IVa). METHODS A total of 95 patients suffering from nasopharyngeal carcinoma (Stage III~IVa) were divided into two groups: concurrent radiochemotherapy (Group CCRT, n=49) and radiotherapy (Group RT, n=46).

متن کاملRadiotherapy with neoadjuvant chemotherapy versus concurrent chemoradiotherapy for ascending-type nasopharyngeal carcinoma: a retrospective comparison of toxicity and prognosis
BACKGROUND In the era of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), the role of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in treating ascending-type nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is under-evaluated. This study was to compare the efficacy of NACT followed by IMRT (NACT + RT) with the efficacy of concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) on ascending-type NPC. METHODS Clinical data of 214 patients with ascendin...
متن کاملSubdural empyema post-chemoradiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a common malignancy in the Asian Chinese population. The first-line treatment for Stage III/IV disease has in recent times shifted from radiotherapy to that of concurrent chemoradiotherapy. The treatment is not infrequently associated with in-field complications. We describe a rare case of one such complication -- subdural empyema developing post-chemoradiotherapy in...
