Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Concurrent chemoradiation + adjuvant chemotherapy
IMRT combine with cisplatin concurrent chemotherapy plus capecitabine adjuvant chemotherapy
|
Drug: IMRT combine with cisplatin concurrent chemotherapy plus capecitabine adjuvant chemotherapy
Patients in the experimental arm received radical radiotherapy with IMRT, and cisplatin (100mg/m2 on day 1) every three weeks for three cycles during RT,followed by adjuvant chemotherapy with oral capecitabine(1000mg/m2/ twice a day for 14 days)every three weeks for eight cycles. |
Active Comparator: Concurrent chemoradiation
IMRT combine with cisplatin concurrent chemotherapy
|
Drug: IMRT combine with cisplatin concurrent chemotherapy
Patients in the control arm received radical radiotherapy with IMRT, and cisplatin (100mg/m2 on day 1) every three weeks for three cycles during RT. |
- Failure free survival [ Time Frame: 3-year ]Defined as the time from date of recruitment to documented relapse or death from any cause.
- Acute Toxicity [ Time Frame: 18 months ]To evaluate the acute toxicity with CTC 3.0 when concurrent cisplatin chemoradiation with or without capecitabine as adjuvant chemotherapy is used.
- Locoregional relapse free survival [ Time Frame: 3-year ]Defined as the time from date of recruitment to documented locoregional relapse or death from any cause.
- Distance metastasis free survival [ Time Frame: 3-year ]Defined as the time from date of recruitment to documented distant metastatic recurrence or death from any cause.
- Overall survival rate [ Time Frame: 3-year ]Defined as the time from date of recruitment to death from any cause.
- Late Toxicity [ Time Frame: 3 years ]To evaluate the late toxicity with the RTOG/EORTC criterion when concurrent cisplatin chemoradiation with or without capecitabine as adjuvant chemotherapy is used.
