Anti-EGFR targeted therapy delivered before versus during radiotherapy in locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma: a big-data intelligence platform-based analysis

摘要

BackgroundLittle is known about the prognostic difference of anti-EGFR therapy, cetuximab (CTX) or nimotuzumab (NTZ), concurrently with induction chemotherapy (IC, investigational arm) or RT (control arm) for patients with locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (LA-NPC). We conducted this retrospective study to address this.
