Optimize the number of cycles of induction chemotherapy for locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma: a propensity score matching analysis

YuTing Jiang et al.

Summary: This study assessed the efficiency and acute toxicities of different cycles of induction chemotherapy for patients with locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The results showed that two cycles and three cycles of induction chemotherapy had similar survival outcomes, but three cycles had a higher incidence of treatment-related acute toxicity.

Induction chemotherapy regimen of docetaxel plus cisplatin versus docetaxel, cisplatin plus fluorouracil followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy in locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma: Preliminary results of an open-label, noninferiority, multicentre, randomised, controlled phase 3 trial

Yan Wang et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the noninferiority of docetaxel plus cisplatin (TP) induction chemotherapy regimen compared to docetaxel plus cisplatin plus fluorouracil (TPF) regimen in patients with locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (LA-NPC). The study showed that TP induction chemotherapy regimen was noninferior to TPF regimen in terms of failure-free survival, with fewer side effects.

Advanced Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma: Current and Emerging Treatment Options

Rina Jiromaru et al.

Summary: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) has shown improved treatment outcomes in recent years, but advanced stages still carry a poor prognosis. Chemoradiotherapy is the main treatment option, along with platinum-based chemotherapy. Immunotherapy, especially immune checkpoint inhibitors, is being explored as a potential treatment for recurrent or metastatic NPC. Future trends in NPC treatment include risk classification based on plasma EBV-DNA levels and personalized therapy selection.

Global cancer statistics 2020: GLOBOCAN estimates of incidence and mortality worldwide for 36 cancers in 185 countries

Hyuna Sung et al.

Summary: The global cancer burden in 2020 saw an estimated 19.3 million new cancer cases and almost 10.0 million cancer deaths. Female breast cancer surpassed lung cancer as the most commonly diagnosed cancer, while lung cancer remained the leading cause of cancer death. These trends are expected to rise in 2040, with transitioning countries experiencing a larger increase compared to transitioned countries due to demographic changes and risk factors associated with globalization and a growing economy. Efforts to improve cancer prevention measures and provision of cancer care in transitioning countries will be crucial for global cancer control.
