Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the effectiveness and safety of sequential concurrent chemoradiotherapy with/without nimotuzumab in the induction phase combined with nimotuzumab in the treatment of locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Methods

The data of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Medical University from May 1, 2016 to June 1, 2021 who met the inclusion criteria were retrospectively screened, among which patients who were treated with nimotuzumab in both induction chemotherapy and synchronous radiotherapy phases were included in an observation group(63 cases), and those who did not use nimotuzumab in the induction chemotherapy phase were included in a control group(51 cases). The efficacy in the two groups was statistically analyzed on the basis of stable baseline data of the patients.

Results

The complete remission(CR) rate and 1-year progression-free survival(PFS) rate in the observation group were significantly better than those in the control group, and there was no significant difference in adverse effects between the two groups.

Conclusion

Thenimotuzumab containing sequential concurrent chemoradiotherapy in the induction phase combined with nimotuzumab has good short-term efficacy and safety in the treatment of locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma without increased toxic side effects.

Key words: Nasopharyngeal cancer, Nimotuzumab, Efficacy
