Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

Eligibility:

All Genders

18-70 years

Phase:

PHASE3

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to verify that simultaneous integrated boost IMRT (SIB-IMRT) alone is non-inferior to SIB-IMRT combined with concurrent chemotherapy for low-risk locally advanced nasophar...

Detailed Description

* There were several randomized clinical trials confirmed that concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) is superior to radiotherapy (RT)alone for locally advanced NPC, most of the patients in the trials we...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Histopathological proven non-keratin nasopharyngeal carcinoma
  • AJCC 7th edition stage III/IVM0, without any one of following factors: node size \>6cm;supraclavicular metastasis node; T4N2; multiple neck node metastases with 1 node \>4 cm
  • Life expectancy≥6 months
  • Adequate renal function, defined as follows: Serum creatinine \< 2 x institutional upper limit of normal(ULN) within 2 weeks prior to registration or creatinine clearance rate (CCr) ≥ 50 ml/min within 2 weeks prior to registration determined by 24- hour collection or estimated by Cockcroft-Gault formula: CCr male = \[(140 - age) x (wt in kg)\] \[(Serum Cr mg/dl) x (72)\] CCr female = 0.85 x (CCrmale)
  • The following assessments are required within 2 weeks prior to the start of registration: Na, K, Cl, glucose, Ca, Mg, and albumin

Exclusion

  • Prior invasive malignancy (except non-melanomatous skin cancer) unless disease free for a minimum of 3 years; noninvasive cancers (For example, carcinoma in situ of the breast, oral cavity, or cervix are all permissible) are permitted even if diagnosed and treated \< 3 years ago
  • Prior radiotherapy to the region of the study cancer that would result in overlap of radiation therapy fields
  • Severe, active co-morbidity
  • Treatment planning does not meet the requirement of prescription dose.
