Endostar Combined With Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy for Locoregionally Advanced Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

Summary

A total of 300 patients with pathologically confirmed Locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma were enrolled. Patients were randomly divided into two groups, with 150 patients in each group. One group was treated with Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy combined with Endostar and the other group was treated with Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy. The short term efficacy and the toxic and side effects of these treatments were evaluated. The 1-year, 3-year, 5-year overall survival and progression-free survival of patients were analyzed. The investigators data may provide an alternative option for the treatment of Locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma with high efficacy and low toxicity.
