BACKGROUND: Tri-weekly cisplatin and radiotherapy (CDDP + RT) is a standard of care for locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (LA-HNSCC) but is sometimes challenging to complete in older patients. Weekly CDDP + RT has shown mild toxicity compared to tri-weekly CDDP + RT for LA-HNSCC and is a promising option for older adults. We aimed to report the treatment outcomes and prognostic factors in patients with LA-HNSCC treated with weekly CDDP + RT.
METHODS: We analyzed patients aged ≥ 70 years who started weekly CDDP + RT for LA-HNSCC between July 2006 and October 2022. LA-HNSCC includes cancer in the oropharynx, hypopharynx, or larynx with a clinical stage of 3 or 4 without distant metastases based on the Union for International Cancer Control staging system 8th edition. The radiation dose of 70 Gy was delivered in 35 fractions by 3-dimensional conformal radiotherapy, intensity-modulated radiotherapy, or proton beam therapy. The primary endpoint was the 3-year overall survival (OS), and the secondary endpoints were the 3-year progression-free survival (PFS) and 3-year cause-specific survival (CSS). The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate survival rates, and the log-rank test was used to evaluate statistical significance. A Cox proportional hazards model was used for the multivariate analysis of prognostic factors.
RESULTS: The median age of the 49 patients was 72 (range: 70-78) years. The median CDDP dose was 200 (40-280) mg/ m2, and 47 patients completed scheduled radiotherapy. Forty-eight patients (98.0%) had a performance status of ≥ 1 at the initial visit. The 3-year OS, PFS, and CSS were 80.9% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 64.8-90.7), 68.3% (95% CI 51.8-81.2), and 85.0% (95% CI 68.7-93.4), respectively. In the multivariate analysis, the cumulative CDDP dose (< 200 or ≥ 200 mg/m2) was a significant factor for OS (hazard ratio: 0.29 [95% CI 0.08-0.97], p = 0.044). There was one case of early mortality. Grade 3 or higher late adverse events were observed in four patients (8.2%).
CONCLUSIONS: Weekly CDDP + RT in older patients led to good survival outcomes with an acceptable rate of adverse events. CDDP should be administered at a dose of at least 200 mg/m2 in older patients. Trial registration Retrospectively registered.
