Brief Summary

A total of 120 patients with pathologically confirmed locally advanced low-risk nasopharyngeal carcinoma were enrolled. They were randomly divided into two groups, with 60 patients in each group. One group was treated with intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) combined with Endostar and the other group was treated with IMRT combined with concurrent chemotherapy. The short term efficacy and the toxic and side effects of these treatments were evaluated. The 1-year, 3-year, 5-year overall survival and progression-free survival of patients were analyzed. Our data may provide an alternative option for the treatment of locally advanced low-risk nasopharyngeal carcinoma with high efficacy and low toxicity.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • 5-year Overall Survival

    The subjects were randomly divided into two groups. Group A: IMRT combined with Endostar ,including 2 cycles of continuous intravenous pumping, and 2 cycles of maintenance therapy after radiotherapy,and Group B: IMRT combined with concurrent chemotherapy for 2 or 3 cycles. After treatment, the subjects go to observation period for 5 years.

    6 years

  • those with severe complications, including myocardial infarction, severe arrhythmia, severe cerebrovascular disease, ulcer disease, mental illness and uncontrollable diabetes.
  • those who could not be followed up at regular intervals.
  • those who were treated with tumor targeting drugs.
  • those who could not subject to MRI examination.
  • those who could not meet the requirements of the prescribed dose.
  • those with hemorrhagic tendency.
