Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study is to determine intratumoral habitat regions from multi-sequences magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and to assess the value of those regions for prediction of patient response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). MATERIALS AND METHODS Two hundred and ninety seven patients with NPC were enrolled. Multi-sequences MRI data were used to outline three-dimensional volumes of interest (VOI) of the whole tumor. The original imaging data were divided into two groups, which were resampled to an isotropic resolution of 1 × 1 × 1 mm3 (group_1mm) and 3 × 3 × 3 mm3 (group_3mm). Nineteen radiomics features were computed for each voxel of three sequences in group_3mm, within the tumor region to extract local information. Then, k-means clustering was implemented to segment the whole tumor regions in two groups. After radiomics features were extracted and dimension reduction, habitat models were built using Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) algorithm. RESULTS Only T stage was included as the clinical model. The habitat3mm model, which included 10 radiomics features, achieved AUCs of 0.752 and 0.724 in the training and validation cohorts, respectively. Given the slightly better outcome of habitat3mm model, nomogram was developed in combination with habitat3mm model and T stage with the AUC of 0.749 and 0.738 in the training and validation cohorts. The decision curve analysis provides further evidence of the nomogram's clinical practicality. CONCLUSIONS A nomogram based on intratumoral habitat predicts the efficacy of NAC in NPC patients, offering the potential to improve both the treatment plan and patient outcomes.

The efficacy of induction chemotherapy or adjuvant chemotherapy added to concurrent chemoradiotherapy in T3-4N0-1M0 nasopharyngeal carcinoma: a propensity score-matched analysis.

Abstract
This research aimed to assess the effectiveness of combining induction chemotherapy (IC) or adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) with concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) in patients with T3-4N0-1M0 nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Before propensity score matching(PSM),we retrospectively collected 457 patients with T3-4N0-1M0 NPC treated with CCRT with or without IC/AC. PSM method selected 285 patients from two cohort(148 in CCRT±IC/AC group,137 in CCRT group). The 3-year overall survival(OS), locoregional relapse-free survival (LRFS) and distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) were estimated. The median follow-up was 41.03 months(range 2.13-94.67 months). No significant differences in 3 year-OS,LRFS and DMFS between CCRT±IC/AC group and CCRT group.Univariate analysis have shown that induction chemotherapy was significantly associated with 3 year LRFS(hazard ratio[HR] 0.214, 95%confidence interval[CI] 0.053-0.861,P = .030).Overall stage(HR 0.260, CI 0.078-0.870, P = .029) and T classification (HR 0.260, CI 0.078-0.870, P = .029)were significantly associated with OS.Multivariate analysis demonstrated no independent factors were related to 3-year OS,LRFS and DMFS. Subgroup analyses revealed that no significant survival differences in the two groups in patients with T3N1.In terms of T4N1 disease, patients received CCRT±IC/AC had lower 3-year DMFS than those treated with CCRT(90.4% vs 98.7%, P = .015). Adding IC or AC to CCRT did not significantly improve the prognosis of T3-4N0-1M0 NPC patients. Patients with T4N1M0 treated with CCRT had better DMFS than those received CCRT±IC/AC.However,more investigations should be confirmed the results.

Meng Y, Huang C, Huang W. Survival after induction chemotherapy in locoregional advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma: An updated systematic review and meta-analysis. Laryngoscope Investig Otolaryngol 2023; 8:1217-1225. [PMID: 37899875 PMCID: PMC10601584 DOI: 10.1002/lio2.1133] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2023] [Revised: 06/18/2023] [Accepted: 08/02/2023] [Indexed: 10/31/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Induction chemotherapy (ICT) augmentation is a common strategy for standard concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) of locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). The survival condition is a crucial issue for patients with locoregionally advanced NPC. The survival of ICT patients with CCRT treatment versus standard CCRT alone should be elucidated via a systemic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials. Methods We compared ICT with CCRT and CCRT alone treatment to determine if ICT with CCRT can be associated with a significant benefit of survival conditions versus CCRT. Different survival indicators were analyzed for the ICT with CCRT. Twelve studies with a total of 3711 patients with locoregionally advanced NPC were enrolled. The focused outcome was the overall survival, progression-free survival, distant metastasis-free survival, and locoregional recurrence-free survival. Results Our results showed that ICT with CCRT is associated with a significant benefit for the overall survival status versus CCRT treatment. Similar significant benefits in the survival condition were seen in progression-free survival, distant metastasis-free survival, and locoregional recurrence-free survival. Conclusions The updated meta-analysis results suggest that the ICT with CCRT might be associated with significant benefits of survival in overall, progression-free, distant metastasis-free, as well as locoregional recurrence-free dimensions versus CCRT treatment. However, the bias of different kinds, doses, and regimens of chemotherapy agents and radiotherapy should not be ignored.

Induction chemotherapy with paclitaxel, carboplatin and cetuximab for locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma: A single-center, retrospective study. Front Oncol 2022; 12:951387. [PMID: 36033502 PMCID: PMC9402945 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.951387] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2022] [Accepted: 07/22/2022] [Indexed: 12/08/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The addition of induction chemotherapy (IC) before chemoradiotherapy (CRT) has improved survival over CRT alone in locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal cancer (LA-NPC). Nevertheless, this population would benefit from further development of a novel IC regimen with satisfactory efficacy and a more favorable safety profile. Methods We retrospectively assessed 29 LA-NPC patients who received the combination of paclitaxel (PTX), carboplatin (CBDCA), and cetuximab (Cmab) (PCE) as IC (IC-PCE) at the National Cancer Center Hospital East between March 2017 and April 2021. IC-PCE consisted of CBDCA area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) = 1.5, PTX 80 mg/m2, and Cmab with an initial dose of 400 mg/m2 followed by 250 mg/m2 administered weekly for a maximum of eight weeks. Results Patient characteristics were as follows: median age, 59 years (range 24–75); 0, 1 performance status (PS), 25, 4 patients; and clinical stage III/IVA/IVB, 6/10/13. The median number of PCE cycles was 8(1-8). After IC-PCE, 26 patients received concurrent cisplatin and radiotherapy (CDDP-RT), one received concurrent carboplatin/5-fluorouracil and radiotherapy (CBDCA/5-FU-RT), and two received RT alone. The % completion of CDDP-RT was 88.5%. The response rate was 75.9% by IC and 100% at completion of CRT. The 3-year recurrence-free survival, locoregional failure-free survival, distant recurrence-free survival, and overall survival were 75.9%, 79.3%, 84.3%, and 96.3%, respectively. The incidence of adverse events of grade 3/4 was 34.5% during IC and 44.8% during CRT. Conclusion IC-PCE is feasible and effective for LA-NPC and may be a treatment option for this disease.
