New Strategy of Improving Treatment Outcome and Larynx-preservation Rate in Locally Advanced Hypopharyngeal Carcinoma

January 28, 2021 updated by: Jun-Lin Yi, MD, Cancer Institute and Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences
To develope stratification treatment for the patients who have locally advanced hypopharyngeal carcinoma. Experimental group patients were treated individually according to the response status after induction chemotherapy, receiving chemoradiotherapy or surgery. Thus to achieve a better survival rate and a higher larynx-preservation rate as well as a lower treatment related toxicity rate compared with standard treatment.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Eligiblity patient were assign to induction chemotherapy plus concurrent chemotherapy group (IC +CCRT group, Arm A)and concurrent chemoradiotherapy group(CCRT group, Arm B). For patients in Arm A, treatment response were evaluated after 2cycles, if the response reached partial response/complete response, patients received concurrent chemoradiotherapy, otherwise, patients will received surgery and radiotherpay/concurrent chemoradiotherapy after surgery. For patients received concurrent chemoradiotherapy (both in Arm A and Arm B) , treatment response were evaluated at 50 Gy. if response reached complete response or major partial response(>80% tumor regression), patients will received radical chemoradiotherapy, otherwise, patients will received surgery.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Induction chemotherapy and concurret chemoradiotherapy group
Patients receive 2 cycles of paclitaxel, cisplatin and 5-Fluorouracil chemotherapy followed by Surgery or Chemo-radiotherapy according to the response status after induction chemo.
