A systematic review of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in the treatment of advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma
Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant chemotherapy(NACT) in the treatment of advanced nasopha-ryngeal carcinoma. Methods:Literature was searched online in Pubmed,Embase,Cochrane Library before April 1st,2013. Only ran-domized controlled trials(RCTs) with regard to NACT were included. Results:A total of 7 trials with 1 463 cases were included. Meta analyses demonstrated that NACT significantly improved the recurrence-free survival(HR:0.74,95%CI:0.64,0.86,P<0.001) and overall survival(HR:0.81,95%CI:0.68,0.96,P=0.013),decreased the locoregional recurrence(RR:0.80,95%CI:0.67,0.97,P=0.022) and the distant metastasis(RR:0.70,95%CI:0.58,0.85,P<0.001). During NACT,the common grade 3-4 adverse events were hair loss(46.4%),nausea/vomiting(20.1%),neutropenia(35.9%). However,NACT didn’t increased the treatment-related death(P=0.806) and grade 3-4 adverse events after treatments. Conclusions:NACT is an effective and safe modality for patients with advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
