Bevacizumab plus cisplatin and helical tomotherapy in treatment of locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma
Background: In recent years, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and targeted drugs have been respectively used in nasopharyngeal carcinoma.In our research, we combined all of them for better curative effects,Materials and methods: Thirty patients with histologically confirmed stage Ⅲ~Ⅳ (without distant metastasis) nasopharyngeal carcinoma were recruited between December 2013 and October 2014 with strict eligibility requirements and exclusion criteria.Bevacizumab 5 mg/kg,80 mg/m2 cisplatin and 67.5 Gy radiotherapy (helical tomotherapy ”TOMO”) was given according to standard treatment protocols.Results: After 3 months, 24 complete responses (80%) and six partial responses (40%) were observed in our research.Twenty-four patients (80%) experienced oropharyngeal mucositis,26% patients experienced weight loss caused by pharyngeal pain and dysphagia caused by oropharyngeal mucositis.Conclusion: Bevacizumab plus cisplatin and TOMO in treatment of locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma can increase curative effects with low side effects and toxicities.
