| アブストラクト | BACKGROUND: To compare cumulative acute toxicity in head and neck cancer patients treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy alone (CCRT) versus induction chemotherapy (IC) followed by CCRT (I/CCRT). METHODS: 77 patients underwent definitive CCRT (30 I/CCRT and 47 CCRT). Toxicity was graded using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0. Using the TAME adverse event reporting system, short-term toxicity (T) scores were generated for IC (TIC), CCRT (TCCRT), total treatment duration (TRx), post-treatment period (TPT) and an overall score (Toverall) from treatment start to post treatment period. RESULTS: Acute toxicity other than dysphagia, odynophagia, or dermatitis was reported in 90.0% and 66.0% of I/CCRT and CCRT patients, respectively (P=0.02). Compared to CCRT group, I/CCRT patients reported greater mean TRx (TRx: 2.11 vs. 2.87, P=0.01) and Toverall (Toverall: 2.60 vs. 3.70, P=0.003). CONCLUSION: I/CCRT patients reported more cumulative acute toxicity during treatment compared to CCRT patients using the TAME reporting system. |
