Abstract
CONCLUSION
Reduced-RADPLAT for HPC achieved comparative survival and locoregional control rates with lower toxicities compared with concurrent chemoradiotherapies including original RADPLAT. S-1 adjuvant chemotherapy showed a survival benefit.
OBJECTIVES
To evaluate the efficacy and toxicities of targeted intra-arterial (IA) infusion of cisplatin with concurrent radiotherapy with a reduced dose (reduced-RADPLAT) for resectable hypopharyngeal cancer (HPC).
METHODS
Between 1999-2012, 50 patients with stage II-IVA HPC primarily treated by reduced-RADPLAT were analyzed. They were treated by 2-5 courses of IA cisplatin infusion (100 mg per body) with simultaneous systemic infusion of sodium thiosulfate concurrent with conventional radiotherapy (66-70 Gy). After 2003, S-1, an oral fluoropyrimidine, adjuvant chemotherapy was administered to all eligible patients.
RESULTS
During a median follow-up of 48.6 months, the estimated 3- and 5-year overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), locoregional control, and laryngoesophageal dysfunction-free survival (LEDFS) rates were 76.0% and 62.0%, 58.0% and 50.0%, 66.0% and 62.0%, and 56.0% and 54.0%, respectively. Grade 3 toxicities were observed in 30.0%. No patient had grade 4 or higher toxicities. No patient required tube feeding or tracheotomy at 3 months after treatment. T4-lesions and S-1 administration were significant factors predicting poor and good OS, PFS, and LEDFS, respectively.
