Abstract 376P
Background
This study aimed to explore the beneficial of intensive nutrition intervention with intensity-modulated radiotherapy and concurrent cisplatin-based chemotherapy in the treatment of patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
Methods
174 locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients (LANPC) receiving radical radiotherapy and concurrent cisplatin-based chemotherapy were enrolled from December, 2000 to December, 2016. Patients were divided into two groups as NI group(which received intensive, individualized nutrition education counseling and oral supplements if required), and UC group (general advice and nutrition booklet, without nutrition education). Propensity score matching was performed to balance the baseline differences between the two groups.
Results
Following one-to-one propensity score matching, survival outcomes for the matched data set indicated that the NI group achieved higher overall survival and failure-free survival (P<0.05) compared with UC. Subgroup analysis revealed that NI was associated with significantly improved OS (Hazard ratio [HR] =1.577, 95% Confidence interval [CI] = 1.055–2.357, P < 0.05) and FFS (HR = 1.53, 95% CI = 1.022–2.29, P<0.05). Additionally, the differences of the main adverse reactions after treatment between the two group were not statistically significant (P>0.05).
Conclusions
Early and intensive NI promoted beneficial outcomes in ameliorating the prognosis in loco-regionally advanced NPC patients.
