Brief Title
Examine the Prognostic Role of FLT PET/CT for Patients With LR-NPC Treated by Carbon Ion Therapy
Official Title
A Phase II Clinical Trial Evaluating the Role of FLT PET/CT in Predicting Treatment Response of Carbon-ion Radiotherapy for Patients With Locoregionally Recurrent Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
Brief Summary
We aim, in this study, to examine whether reduction of FLT PET derived SUV before and after carbon ion radiotherapy can predict the treatment response and survivals for patients with locoregionally recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
Detailed Description
This is a single-arm phase II clinical trial evaluating the prognostic value of FLT PET/CT for patients with locoregionally recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma. All patients will receive FLT PET/CT scans before and after carbon ion radiotherapy (CIRT). The sensitivity and specificity of reduction of FLT uptake reduction in terms of predicting the treatment outcome evaluated by MRI at 3 months after completion of CIRT according to RECIST 1.1. Its predictive value of OS, LPFS, RPFS and DMFS will be examined as well.
