NCT06533267

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the survival and adverse reactions differences between endoscopic surgery and intensity modulated radiotherapy for patients with newly diagnosed stage Ⅰ nasopharyngeal carcinoma, aiming to verifying the efficacy and safety of endoscopic surgery for stage Ⅰ nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Study Arms (2)

Surgery plus close follow-up

EXPERIMENTAL

Surgery: Endoscopic Nasopharyngectomy: Radical resection of the primary lesion using nasal endoscopy.

Procedure: Endoscopic nasopharyngectomy followed close follow-up

Intensity modulated radiotherapy

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Radiotherapy: Intensity-modulated Radiotherapy: GTVnx: 69.96Gy/33Fr/2.12Gy CTV1: 59.4Gy/33Fr/1.8Gy CTV2: 54.12Gy/33Fr/1.64Gy

Radiation: Intensity-modulated Radiotherapy

Interventions

Radical resection of primary lesion using nasal endoscopy. After the treatment, the electronic nasal endoscopy was reviewed every two weeks to determine the healing of the wound, whether there was tumor recurrence, until the surgical wound was completely healed. The patients were followed up at least once every three months from the first year to the third year, at least once every six months from the fourth year to the fifth year, and at least once every year after five years.

Surgery plus close follow-up

GTVnx (nasopharyngeal lesions): 69.96Gy/33Fr/2.12Gy CTV1: 60.60Gy/33Fr/1.82Gy CTV2: 54.12Gy/33Fr/1.64Gy. After treatment, patients were followed up every 3-6 months from the first year to the third year, every 6-12 months from the fourth year to the fifth year, and at least once a year after five years.

Intensity modulated radiotherapy

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 75 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Karnofsky score \>70.
  • Non-keratinized carcinoma of the nasopharynx (differentiated or undifferentiated, i.e., WHO type II or III) or carcinoma in situ confirmed histologically and/or cytologically.
  • According to the eighth edition of UICC/AJCC staging, the patient was defined as T1N0M0 stage I.
  • The maximum short diameters of retropharyngeal lymph nodes and cervical lymph nodes were not more than 0.4cm and 0.6cm respectively, or retropharyngeal lymph nodes and cervical lymph nodes were 0.4-0.5cm and 0.6-1.0cm respectively but PET/CT showed negative.
  • Informed Concent signed with willingness to obey the follow-up, treatment, examination and any other programs according to the research protocol.

You may not qualify if:

  • MRI showed that the primary tumor diameter \>1.5cm, or internal carotid artery vascular malformation which would seriously affect the operation.
  • Diagnosed as recurrent or distant metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma or together with any other malignancy.
  • Suffering severe organ dysfunction or physical disorder which could not tolerate operation or radiotherapy.
  • Unable to cooperate with regular follow-up due to psychological, social, domestic or geological reasons.
