Assessment of Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy plus Induction Chemotherapy in Advanced Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma: Cisplatin, Fluorouracil, and Docetaxel versus Gemcitabine and Cisplatin.

Abstract:

:Induction chemotherapy treatment for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is controversial. The aim of this study was to evaluate the treatment outcomes and toxicities between two induction chemotherapy regimens, with both followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy. The first strategy used docetaxel, cisplatin and fluorouracil for induction chemotherapy (TPF), and the second utilised gemcitabine and cisplatin (GP). A retrospective analysis was performed on eligible NPC patients attending our hospital between May 2009 and Dec 2014. A total of 113 patients were enrolled with 58 patients receiving TPF and 55 receiving GP induction chemotherapy. Ninety-four patients (83.2%) were alive after 36-months follow-up. The median overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) time were 48.3 and 39.7 months, respectively. The 3-year OS for the TPF regimen was 87.9% and 87.4% with GP chemotherapy (P = 0.928). The 3-year PFS of the TPF treatment was 84.5%, while it was 83.5% for the GP group (P = 0.551). Univariate analysis showed that lymph node metastasis was a significant PFS prognostic factor, while N3 stage was an independent predictor of PFS and distant failure-free survival (DMFS) in multivariate analysis. There were no significant differences in adverse toxicities or treatment efficacy between the chemotherapy regimens in the treatment of locoregionally advanced NPC.
