Comparison of Acute Toxicity between Intensity-modulated Radiotherapy with Cisplatin Alone Concurrent Chemotherapy Weekly and Every Three Weeks for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Patients
Objective To compare the acute toxicities and nutritional status between non-metastasis nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC) patients treated by intensity-modulated radiotherapy(IMRT) combined with 40 mg/m2 cisplatin alone concurrent chemotherapy weekly and those treated by IMRT with 80-100 mg/m2 cisplatin every three weeks.
