Abstract 384P
Background
Betel nut chewing might contribute to strong invasion and treatment refractoriness. In western countries where HPV+ OPC prevalence is high, induction TPF response rate in locally advanced HNSCC is around 70%; Erbitux and TP (Argiris in JCO2008) response rate is 86%. In the analysis from KGMH in Taiwan, induction response for locally advanced HNSCC was 55% in betel-nuts chewers compared with 75% in non-users(p=0.038; From Su in World Journal of Surgical Oncology 2016). Erbitux-TPF induction response rate was 88% from VGH in Taiwan by Lu in Head & Neck2019. In our previous study from unresectable stage IVA & IVB betal-nuts related HNSCC patients in ASCO2023, flexible chemotherapy backbones, such as TP/DP-HDFL(weekly docetaxel or paclitaxel with cisplatin and 24-hr high dose 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin infusion) with Biotherapy(EGFR or VEGFR-targeting)or Bio-immunotherapy had encouraging induction response with favorable toxicity to conversion surgery or definite CCRT.
Methods
Hypopharyngreal cancer in Taiwan in Taiwan often had advaced stage(stage IV 70%) and double cancers easily(esp. lung cancer and esophageal cancer). We prepared to compare the outcomes of different treatment strategies in stage IVA/IVB hypophryngeal cancer, from 2012 to 2023.
Results
Table: 384P
Treatment strategies(total 75 patients) | Definite CCRT 9 | Curative surgery then adjuvant CCRT 14(all receiving total laryngectomy & bilateral neck dissection) | Induction therapy then definite CCRT 29 | Induction therapy then curative surgery then adjuvant CCRT 23 |
Induction response(total 52 patients) | N/A | N/A | 69%(20/29) | 87%(20/23) |
2-year DFS(total 64 patients) | 57.1% | 63.6% | 68% | 81% |
5-year OS(total 50 patients) | 20% | 26.7% | 37.5% | 50% |
All with maintenance UFUR
Conclusions
CCRT is still one standard option; if no need for organ preservation, curative surgery followed by adjuvant CCRT still works in resectable and medically operable patients. Maintenance UFUR yielded relatively favorable 2-year DFS and 5-year OS. Induction Bio-CT or Bio-chemoimmunotherapy followed by CCRT may be promoted beyond TAX323/324. Aggressive induction therapy followed by mini-invasive surgery and then adjuvant CCRT with maintenance UFUR might be administered in selected patients with high induction response. Encouraging outcomes have been shown by sequential multi-modality strategies for locally advanced betel-nuts related hypopharyngeal cancer in Taiwan.
