Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy With or Without Induction Chemotherapy for Patients with Stage II Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma: An Update.

Abstract:

PURPOSE:In contrast to other studies, our previous study showed that adding induction chemotherapy (IC) to concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) significantly worsened the prognosis of patients with stage II nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). However, the population used was small; therefore, there is an urgent need to confirm the result in a larger population because IC is still widely used in certain sections of china for stage II NPC. METHODS AND MATERIALS:We retrospectively analyzed an additional 272 patients. Therefore, in total, we report the results for 445 patients with stage II NPC treated with IC + CCRT or CCRT between June 2003 to June 2016 at the Zhejiang Cancer Hospital and Sun Yat-Sen University Cancer Center. RESULTS:This study included 445 patients treated with IC + CCRT (n = 195) or CCRT (n = 250). By last analysis, 22 (11.3%) patients in the IC + CCRT group developed local-regional recurrence and 23 (11.8%) patients developed distant metastases. Twenty-four (9.6%) patients in the CCRT group developed local-regional recurrence and 12 (4.8%) patients developed distant metastases. Univariate analyses showed that adding IC to CCRT significantly decreased the 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) (80.6% vs. 88.5%, P = .043); however, there was no statistically significant difference in 5-year overall survival (OS) (90.5% vs. 95.0%, P = .375). CONCLUSION:Using a larger population, the present study showed that adding IC to CCRT had a negative effect on patients with stage II NPC, which warrants further investigation.
