- W2044434932 abstract "To investigate prospectively the feasibility and efficacy of dose escalation using three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) boost technique for locally recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) in a randomised study.Thirty-six patients with locally recurrent NPC (>6 months interval from previous radical radiotherapy, no cervical lymph-node involvement and no distant metastasis) were enrolled. Treatment included conventional external-beam radiotherapy to 54 Gy, followed by a 3D-CRT boost to the gross tumour region. Patients were randomised to three boost dose levels: 16 Gy, 20 Gy and 24 Gy for groups I, II and III, respectively, with 12 patients in each group. All boost doses were delivered in 4-Gy fractions and 3 fractions per week. Median follow-up was 27 months (range 14-44 months).Three-year, local-recurrence-free survival rate was significantly higher (72%) for the high-dose group III than for groups I and II (37% and 28%, respectively, P = 0.047). No significant difference was found in the 3-year overall survival rate among the three groups (72%, 59% and 82% for groups I, II and III, respectively). Three-year distant metastases rates were 17%, 0% and 18%, respectively. Skull-base invasion (P = 0.017) and pathology (P = 0.0006) correlated with overall survival. Treatment was well tolerated and no significant difference was observed among the three groups in acute and late toxicities (grade III toxicity is minimal: 17%, 17%, 0% of oral mucositis and 25%, 17%, 17% of nasopharyngeal mucositis in groups I, II, III, respectively, and 8% leukocytopenia only in group II; no grade IV toxicity occurred in any of the groups except for a fatal bleeding in group III).Re-irradiation with high-dose 3D-CRT boost technique results in high local control rate and acceptable toxicity in patients with recurrent NPC. Dose escalation to the boost volume to 78 Gy (54 Gy + 24 Gy boost) results in improved recurrence-free survival compared with lower doses." @default.
