Comparison of 3-weekly cisplatin versus 3-weekly carboplatin in patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (LA-NPC) receiving concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT): A multicenter retrospective study
Year: 2018
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Background: Although CCRT with high-dose cisplatin remains the standard protocol for patients with LA-NPC, carboplatin has been alternatively used especially for cisplatin-ineligible patients. However, the comparable efficacy of these 2 regimens is still unclear. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and tolerability of 3-weekly carboplatin with 3-weekly cisplatin.
