Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The standard treatment strategy for locally advanced (stage IVA) and metastatic (stage IVB) nasopharyngeal carcinoma has not been defined yet. Generally induction chemotherapy is given to those patients in order to shrink the tumor volume and facilitate the following radiation therapy. Thus, in this study, the investigators use the combination of Docetaxel+Cisplatin+Xeloda (DCX) to treat locally advanced and metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients, in order to evaluate the efficacy and safety profiles.
