Low-dose Radiotherapy and Chemoimmunotherapy in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma With Liver Metastasis
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of adding low-dose radiotherapy to chemoimmunotherapy as a first-line treatment for nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients with liver metastasis.
• Age ≥ 18 years and ≤ 70 years, male or non-pregnant female.
• Histologically confirmed with nonkeratinizing carcinoma of the nasopharynx (differentiated or undifferentiated type, WHO II or III)
• Stage IVB (AJCC 8th edition staging)
• De novo nasopharyngeal carcinoma with liver metastasis, or patients who had received curative treatment (radical radiotherapy or radical radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy) and developed liver metastasis more than 6 months after treatment completion.
• ECOG performance status: 0 or 1
• Must have at least one measurable lesion (assessed according to RECIST v1.1)
• Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 × 10\^9/L; platelets ≥ 100 × 10\^9/L; hemoglobin ≥ 90 g/L.
• International normalized ratio (INR) or prothrombin time (PT) ≤ 1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN); activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) ≤ 1.5 × ULN
• Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 × ULN or estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥ 60 mL/min.
⁃ Serum total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN (patients with Gilbert's syndrome may be included if total bilirubin \< 3 × ULN); AST and ALT ≤ 5 × ULN (because of liver metastasis)
