Comparison of concurrent chemoradiotherapy versus induction chemotherapy followed by radiation in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
PURPOSE The study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) with platinum-based chemotherapy as a primary treatment for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and to further compare the results of CCRT with these of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) followed by radiotherapy (RT). PATIENTS AND METHODS Before 1998, 21 patients with NPC received NAC followed by RT (NAC-RT). Betw...
متن کاملA phase II randomized trial of induction chemotherapy versus no induction chemotherapy followed by preoperative chemoradiation in patients with esophageal cancer.
BACKGROUND The contribution of induction chemotherapy (IC) before preoperative chemoradiation for esophageal cancer (EC) is not known. We hypothesized that IC would increase the rate of pathologic complete response (pathCR). METHODS Trimodality-eligibile patients were randomized to receive no IC (Arm A) or IC (oxaliplatin/FU; Arm B) before oxaliplatin/FU/radiation. Surgery was attempted ∼5-6 ...
متن کاملInduction Chemotherapy with Docetaxel, Cisplatin and 5 Flurouracil Followed by Concurrent Chemoradiation Therapy in Locally Advanced Nasopaharyngeal Carcinoma
Background: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is the most common head and neck carcinoma in Egypt. The standard treatment of locally advanced carcinoma of the nasopharynx is cisplatin based chemotherapy followed by locoregional radiotherapy. Taxotere in combination with the standard cisplatin-5-FU as neoadjuvant for patients with locally advanced NPC had increased the overall response rate and pro...
متن کاملInduction chemotherapy, concurrent chemoradiation and surgery for Pancoast tumour.
The traditional treatment of Pancoast tumour with local approaches (surgery, radiotherapy or a combination of both) leads to a poor outcome due to the high rate of incomplete resection and the lack of systemic control. The aim of the present prospective feasibility study was to determine whether a trimodality approach improves local control and survival. Patients with stage IIB-IIIB Pancoast tu...
متن کاملPreoperative concurrent chemotherapy and radiation therapy followed by surgery for esophageal cancer.
Currently, the most promising strategy to improve the prognosis of advanced esophageal cancer is preoperative chemoradiation (CRT) followed by surgery. The superiority of CRT over radiation therapy alone has been demonstrated by several randomized studies. Many phase II studies of CRT followed by surgery have shown that the pathologic complete response (CR) rate ranges from 17 to 40%, and the m...
