Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of different neoadjuvant chemotherapy schedules of cisplatin and 5-FU on acute toxicity, tumor response, and long-term survival in patients with advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma
Detailed Description
Control group: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy with tri-weekly PF × 3 cycles (cisplatin 100 mg/m2, day 1, followed by 5-FU 1000 mg/m2/d, days 1-4 continuous iv infusion, repeated every 3 weeks) + IMRT ≧ 70 Gy/35 fractions Test group: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy with weekly P-FL × 10 weeks (cisplatin 60 mg/m2 at days 1, 15, 29, 43, 57; alternatively with 5-FU 2500 mg/m2 + Leucovorin 250 mg/m2 at days 8, 22, 36, 50, 64) + IMRT ≧ 70 Gy/35 fractions
