【摘要】 目的 观察时辰化学疗法联合放射治疗对比常规化学疗法联合放射治疗对鼻咽癌的近期疗效及其不良反应。 方法 2006年2月-2010年3月经病理学证实未接受过化学疗法的38例晚期鼻咽癌患者随机分为常规化学疗法联合放射治疗组（A组，n=20）和时辰化学疗法联合放射治疗组（B组，n=18）。两组均采用常规二维放射治疗。A组化学疗法方案为顺铂（DDP）80 mg/m2，采用完全水化方案，第1天静脉滴注；氟尿嘧啶800 mg/（m2•d），第2~6天120 h连续静脉滴注。B组时辰化学疗法采用Melodies多通道编程输液泵进行正弦曲线式时间调节给药。两组均为DDP 80 mg/m2，于10:00~22:00给药，浓度高峰设定在16:00；氟尿嘧啶800 mg/m2，于22:00~次日10:00给药，浓度高峰设定在凌晨4:00。每21天重复1次，行2~6疗程。 结果 A组3程化学疗法后有效率（PR）为95%（19/20），全程结束完全缓解率（complete remission，CR）达75%（15/20）；B组在2程化学疗法后PR达100%，全程治疗结束CR达94.4%（17/18）。两组不良反应主要为迟发性血小板减少，发生率分别为35%（7/20）和22.2%（4/18），其他不良反应两组间无明显差别。 结论 时辰化学疗法联合放射治疗对晚期鼻咽癌在减轻化学疗法造成的血小板减少方面有明显的优势，值得临床推广应用以及进一步发掘时辰化学疗法在临床治疗的价值。【Abstract】 Objective To investigate the efficacy and the adverse effects of routine chemotherapy and chrono-chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy for advanced nasopharyngeal cancer patients. Methods From March 2006 to March 2010, 38 patients diagnosed pathologically to have advanced nasopharyngeal cancer were randomly divided to the routine chemotherapy and radiotherapy group (group A, n=20) and the chrono-chemotherapy and radiotherapy group (group B, n=18). Patients in both groups received bi-dimensional radiotherapy. Patients in group A received a full hydration method, cisplatin (DDP) 80 mg/m2 intravenous infusion was also carried out on day 1; fluorouracil 800 mg/(m2•d) chemotherapy, and 120 hours of continuous intravenous infusion from day 2 to day 6. For patients in group B, Melodies multi-channel infusion pump programming to adjust the time of drug administering with a sinusoidal style was adopted; DDP 80 mg/m2 was administered intravenously on day 1 between 10:00 and 22:00 with the peak concentration set at 16:00; fluorouracil 800 mg/m2 was administered between 22:00 and 10:00 on the next day from day 2 to day 6 with the concentration peak set at 4:00. The treatments in both groups were repeated every 21 days, which was repeated for two to six courses of tremtment. Results After three courses of treatment for group A, partial response (PR) rate was 95% (19/20), and after six courses of treatment, the complete remission (CR) rate was 75% (15/20); After two courses of treatment for group B, the PR rate was 100%, and after six courses of treatment, the CR rate was 94.4% (17/18). The main adverse effect was thrombocytopenia at an incidence rate of 35% (7/20) and 22.4% (4/18) in the two groups respectively. There was no obvious difference in other adverse effects between the two groups. Conclusion Chrono-chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy for advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma has obvious advantages in reducing thrombocytopenia caused by chemotherapy, and it is worth further exploring the clinical applications and values of chrono-chemotherapy.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the correlation between the expression of P53 and nasopharyngeal carcinoma. MethodsDatabases including The Cochrane Library (Issue 1, 2016), PubMed, EMbase, CBM, CNKI, VIP, and WanFang Data were searched from the inception to January 1st 2016 to collect case-control studies about the correlation between the expression of P53 and nasopharyngeal carcinoma, as well as its clinically pathologic features. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Then meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.2 software. Results Twelve studies were finally included in this meta-analysis. There were 630 cases of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and 253 controls. The results of meta-analysis showed that, the expression of P53 protein were significantly different between the nasopharyngeal carcinoma group and the control group (OR=21.34, 95%CI 13.59 to 33.50, P < 0.000 01), between the nasopharyngeal carcinoma with lymphatic node metastasis group and without lymphatic node metastasis group (OR=3.69, 95%CI 1.67 to 8.17, P=0.001), between the clinical stage Ⅰ to Ⅱ group and the clinical stage Ⅲ to Ⅳ group (OR=0.19, 95%CI 0.08 to 0.49, P=0.000 6). However, there were no significant differences in expression of P53 between the male nasopharyngeal carcinoma group and the female nasopharyngeal carcinoma group (OR=0.92, 95%CI 0.49 to 1.74, P=0.80), and between the < 50 nasopharyngeal carcinoma group and the≥50 nasopharyngeal carcinoma group (OR=1.70, 95%CI 0.70 to 4.11, P=0.24). ConclusionsCurrent evidence shows that, the expression of P53 protein is associated with the occurrence, development of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and may be positively correlated to degree of tumor malignance. It may be an indicator poor prognosis.
Intensity-modulated radiotherapy planning for nasopharyngeal carcinoma is very complex. The quality of plan is often closely linked to the experience of the treatment planner. In this study, 10 nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients at different stages were enrolled. Based on the scripting of Pinnacle3 9.2 treatment planning system, the computer program was used to set the basic parameters and objective parameters of the plans. At last, the nasopharyngeal carcinoma intensity-modulated radiotherapy plans were completed automatically. Then, the automatical and manual intensity-modulated radiotherapy plans were statistically compared and clinically evaluated. The results showed that there were no significant differences between those two kinds of plans with respect to the dosimetry parameters of most targets and organs at risk. The automatical nasopharyngeal carcinoma intensity-modulated radiotherapy plans can meet the requirements of clinical radiotherapy, significantly reduce planning time, and avoid the influence of human factors such as lack of experience to the quality of plan.

Objective We searched and reviewed medical evidence to find the guide of treatment for local advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Methods Firstly, we put forward clinical questions. Secondly, we searched medical evidence from Medline (1985-2002), Embase (1984-2000), Cochrane library (2002.1) and ACP. And then we reviewed the results. The key words we used were "nasopharyngeal carcinoma, chemotherapy and radiotherapy randomized" and "meta analysis or randomized control trial". Results Through searching, we got 17 papers including 1 systematic review and 16 randomized control trials, in which there were 8 prospective randomized phase Ⅲ trials. Most of these trials concluded that combination chemo-radiotherapy were better than radiotherapy alone. We think these results were suitable for our patient’treatment decision. Conclusion To treat our patients,we choosed the method of the mutimodality of squeitial neoadjuvant chemotherapy, concurrent chemo-radiotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy with the drug doses down-adjusted.

ObjectiveTo comprehensively analyze the disease burden of respiratory cancers in China from 1990 to 2021, and predict the trend of disease burden changes from 2022 to 2031, in order to improve its prevention and treatment strategies. MethodsData from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 database were extracted and analyzed for the disease burden of nasopharyngeal cancer, laryngeal cancer, and tracheal, bronchial and lung cancers (hereinafter referred to as lung cancer) in China from 1990 to 2021. The Joinpoint 4.9.1.0 software was utilized to analyze the corresponding trends. The grey prediction model [GM (1,1)] was employed to forecast the disease burden of respiratory cancers in China from 2022 to 2031. ResultsThe disease burden of respiratory cancers attributed to tobacco and occupational carcinogens in China raised from 1990 to 2021. Among the respiratory cancers, lung cancer led in terms of incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALY) and their respective age-standardized rates from 1990 to 2021, followed by nasopharyngeal cancer, with laryngeal cancer being the lowest. Analysis via the Joinpoint regression model indicated that, overall, the disease burden of nasopharyngeal and laryngeal cancers in China decreased during this time period, while that of lung cancer increased. From a gender perspective, the disease burden of male patients was significantly higher than that of female patients from 1990 to 2021. Compared to the global average, the disease burden of respiratory cancers in China from 1990 to 2021 was still relatively heavy. As of 2021, the middle-aged and elderly population above 50 years old was the primary group suffering from the disease burden of respiratory cancers in China. The prediction model showed that the age-standardized rate of nasopharyngeal cancer in China would decline from 2022 to 2031; the age-standardized incidence rate of laryngeal cancer in China would increase, while its age-standardized mortality rate and DALY rate would both decrease; the age-standardized rates of lung cancer in China would increase. ConclusionIn the past 30 years, the disease burden of nasopharyngeal and laryngeal cancers in China has lightened, but the overall disease burden of lung cancer is still on the rise. Compared to the global average, the disease burden of respiratory cancers in China is still relatively heavy. The disease burden in male patients is significantly higher than that in female patients, and the population above 50 years old is the main group suffering from the disease burden. In the next 10 years, the disease burden of respiratory cancers in China will still tend to increase. Therefore, targeted prevention and treatment strategies for men and the middle-aged and elderly populations remain key challenges that urgently need to be addressed in China's response to respiratory cancers.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the health economic evaluation of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). MethodsThe PubMed, Web of Science, EMbase, CNKI, WanFang Data and CBM databases were electronically searched to collect the health economic evaluations on NPC from inception to December 18, 2022. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies. A descriptive analysis was performed. ResultsA total of 20 studies were included, which contained 14 about different drug combinations, 6 about chemotherapy and the comparison among intensity modulated radiotherapy, conventional radiotherapy and surgery. The results showed that for patients with recurrent, metastatic, or advanced NPC, compared with docetaxel plus cisplatin, fluorouracil plus cisplatin or docetaxel and cisplatin plus fluorouracil, gemcitabine plus cisplatin (GP) was the most economical, and compared with GP or camrelizumab plus GP, toripalimab plus GP (TGP) was more economical. For early-stage NPC, intensity modulated radiotherapy was not economical compared with conventional radiotherapy and surgery. ConclusionCurrent evidence shows that GP and TGP are economical and can be popularized clinically.
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is rather common in Southeast Asia and Southern China. The standard treatment for NPC is intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). A large number of the NPC survivors benefit from the IMRT, while some suffer from the late toxicities which can be life-threatening or significantly erode the patients’ quality of life and functional status, especially in the locally advanced NPC. Nowadays the late radiotherapy-related toxicities have been the most important concern for the radiotherapists and patients, who look forward to the better long-term tumor local control and overall survival. Therefore, we carried out a review about the late radiotherapy-related toxicities of the vital organs at risk after IMRT for NPC patients.
