- description
- All patients were assigned to receive induction chemotherapy (IC) followed by IMRT with adjuvant chemotherapy (AC). IMRT was administered 2 weeks after IC, and AC was administered 1 month after IMRT. IC or AC (TPF regimen) comprised docetaxel (60 mg/m2/day, day 1), cisplatin (25 mg/m2/day, days 1-3), and 5-fluorouracil (500 mg/m2/day with a 120-h infusion) administered once every 3 weeks for two cycles. During radiotherapy, involved retropharyngeal lymph nodes and intracavity lesions of the primary tumor were delineated according to the post-IC volume, whereas the remainder of the involved tissues (eg, pterygopalatine fossa) of the primary tumor were delineated according to the pre-IC volume of the primary tumor as shown by MRI. Post-IC volumes of involved neck lymph nodes were used for delineation. The prescribed dose was 66 Gy to tumors above the slices of skull base or below the orapharynx with less than 5 mm retropharyngeal lymph nodes, or 70.4 Gy to tumors in other slices.
