Methods Between August 2006 and December 2009 28 patients with pathological proven nonmetastatic NPC were enrolled. All patients were staged as IIB-IVB. Patients were first treated with 2 to 3 cycles of induction chemotherapy with EP-HDFL Epirubicin Cisplatin 5-FU and Leucovorin . After induction chemotherapy weekly based PFL was administered concurrent with HT. Radiation consisted of 70 Gy to the planning target volumes of the primary tumor plus any positive nodal disease using 2 Gy per fraction. Results After completion of induction chemotherapy the response rates for primary and nodal disease were and respectively. With a median follow-up after 33 months Range 13-53 months there have been 2 primary and 1 nodal relapse after completion of radiotherapy. The estimated 3-year progression-free rates for local regional locoregional and distant metastasis survival rate were and respectively. The estimated 3-year overall survival was . Acute grade 3 4 toxicities for xerostomia and dermatitis were only and respectively. Conclusion HT for locoregionally advanced NPC is feasible and effective in regard to locoregional control with high compliance even after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. None of out-field or marginal failure noted in the current study confirms the potential benefits of treating NPC patients by image-guided radiation .
