BACKGROUND
This neoplasm has a notable ethnic and geographic distribution with a high
prevalence in Southeast Asian and North African
populations
T3-T4 locally advanced tumors and N2-N3 nodal status rates were 67 and 46%,
respectively
All 33 patients had the undifferentiated (WHO Type III) variant of NPC
Treatment plan:
The total dose planned was 70-74 Gy to the primary tumour and the involved
lymph nodesin daily fractions of 2 Gy, 5 d/wk.
The complete blood picture and biochemistry were checked weekly before CT
was administered
Statistical methods:

Events and survival
After a median follow-up of 58 months (range, 3-94
months)
Overall survival
Prognostic factors:
The age >40 years, Stage T4, Stage N3, and cycles of CT 5 had a
statistically significant pejorative impact on OS
DISCUSSION
NPC is highly radiosensitive and chemosensitive, and an excellent disease
control can be achieved using combined modality chemoradiation even in
patients with locally advanced disease.
Weekly (30-40 mg/m2) as well as 3-weekly (100 mg/m2) cisplatinbased regimens are accepted as standard practice.
A possible explanation for this may be the fact CCRT for these
patients with such high-risk disease may not be enough to
improve their outcome significantly
CONCLUSION
Our study confirms that weekly cisplatin concurrent
with RT for locally advanced nasopharyngeal cancers
was found tolerable with a high efficiency and
provides further evidence on the prognostic
significance of CT dosing during the concurrent
phase with RT.
