Comparative Study of Response between Concurrent Chemoradiation and Sequential Chemoradiation in the Treatment of Locally Advanced Base of Tongue Carcinoma in a Limited Resource Setting
Abstract:
Introduction: Base tongue carcinoma is commonly diagnosed
an advanced stage in low-resource settings. Concurrent
chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) and sequential
chemoradiotherapy (SCRT) after induction chemotherapy
are both used, but their comparative effectiveness remains
unclear in such contexts.
Aim of the study: The study aimed to compare the treatment
response and acute toxicities between concurrent
chemoradiotherapy and sequential chemoradiotherapy in
patients with locally advanced base of tongue carcinoma in
a limited-resource setting.
