Abstract

Alternating chemoradiotherapy was performed in 35 patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal cancer. The median duration of follow-up was 20 months, and the 2-year progression free and overall survival rates were 83% (95% confidence interval: 66~101%) and 94% (95% CI: 84~105%), respectively. This method may be useful in treating nasopharyngeal cancer.
