Immunochemotherapy has become the first-line treatment for initial diagnosed metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (mNPC). Loco-regional radiotherapy combined with systemic chemotherapy significantly improves the survival. However, the safety and efficacy of loco-regional radiotherapy combined with immunochemotherapy remained unknown.
Patients with de novo mNPC who received immunochemotherapy followed by loco-regional radiotherapy were included from two cancer centers. Toxicity and treatment response were assessed using CTCAE 5.0 and RECIST 1.1, respectively. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method.
From 2019 to 2021, a total of 16 patients were retrospectively analyzed. The median follow-up was 28 months (range 14-47 months). No one died. One-year, 2-year, and 3-year PFS rate was 93.8%, 58.4% and 50.1%, respectively. Radiotherapy-related acute severe (grade 3 or higher) toxicity was dermatitis (1/16, 6.3%) and mucositis (2/16, 12.5%).
Loco-regional radiotherapy provided a promising efficacy with modest toxicity for patients with mNPC who received immunochemotherapy.
免疫化疗已成为初诊转移性鼻咽癌(mNPC)的一线治疗方法。局部区域放疗联合全身化疗显著提高了生存率。然而,局部区域放疗联合免疫化疗的安全性和疗效仍不清楚。
从两个癌症中心纳入接受免疫化疗后行局部区域放疗的初诊 mNPC 患者。使用 CTCAE 5.0 和 RECIST 1.1 分别评估毒性和治疗反应。使用 Kaplan-Meier 法分析总生存期(OS)和无进展生存期(PFS)。
2019 年至 2021 年,共回顾性分析了 16 例患者。中位随访时间为 28 个月(范围 14-47 个月)。无死亡病例。1 年、2 年和 3 年 PFS 率分别为 93.8%、58.4%和 50.1%。放疗相关急性重度(≥3 级)毒性为皮炎(1/16,6.3%)和黏膜炎(2/16,12.5%)。
对于接受免疫化疗的 mNPC 患者,局部区域放疗具有良好的疗效和适度的毒性。
