Prospective Randomized Study of Intensity-Modulated Radiotherapy on Salivary Gland Function in Early-Stage Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Patients

TL;DR: IMRT is superior to 2DRT in preserving parotid function and results in less severe delayed xerostomia in the treatment of early-stage NPC, which reflects the need to enhance protection of other salivary glands.
Journal ArticleDOI

Randomized Phase II Trial of Concurrent Cisplatin-Radiotherapy With or Without Neoadjuvant Docetaxel and Cisplatin in Advanced Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

TL;DR: Neoadjuvant docetaxel-cisplatin followed by CRT was well tolerated with a manageable toxicity profile that allowed subsequent delivery of full-dose CRT and preliminary results suggested a positive impact on survival.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prognostic significance of the total dose of cisplatin administered during concurrent chemoradiotherapy in patients with locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

TL;DR: Number of cycles of cisplatin delivered is an independent prognostic factor in patients with stage II-III NPC undergoing CRT with weekly cisPlatin, and is significantly associated with survival in the univariate but not the multivariate analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plasma osteopontin, hypoxia, and response to radiotherapy in nasopharyngeal cancer.

TL;DR: The results suggested that the pretreatment plasma osteopontin level may be a useful biomarker of response to radiotherapy in nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Surgical salvage nasopharyngectomy for recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma: a multivariate analysis of prognostic factors.

TL;DR: The purpose of this study was to identify independent prognostic factors that influenced local relapse‐free survival (LRFS) and overall survival (OS) of patients who underwent salvage surgery for residual or recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).
