Abstract 2049

Background

In current clinical trials and practice, patients with R and M1 NPC are considered the same entity and typically received similar systemic treatments. However, natural history, treatment outcomes and tolerability of systemic chemotherapy between both groups remains unknown.

Methods

R and M1 NPC patients were identified. Patient characteristics, treatment modalities, tolerability, and survival outcome were retrospectively abstracted. Tolerability of chemotherapy was defined by dose reduction, hospitalization, delayed, and/or termination of chemotherapy.

Results

A total of 144 NPC patients (R = 98, M1=46) were analyzed. In R patients, locoregional recurrence and distant metastasis were observed in 30% and 66%, respectively. In R group, median time to recurrence was 16.6 months. Median OS of M1 patients was not difference from R group (12.3 vs 11.8 months; p = 0.09). However, patients with M1 had shorter OS when compared with locoregional group (12.3 vs 26.7 months; p = 0.01). Patients who received doublet had longer OS than single agent chemotherapy in both groups. There was no different in OS between 1st line cisplatin- and carboplatin-based chemotherapy in R group (34.2 vs 19.3 months; p = 0.15), but significant difference in M1 patients (14.7 vs 12.3 months; p = 0.05). Tolerability to systemic chemotherapy were comparable among R and M1 NPC patients.Table: 1114P

Conclusions

There was no different in tolerability and survival of R and M1 NPC patients. Physicians should expect similar outcomes of R and M1 NPC patients who received systemic chemotherapy.
