Abstract

Objective To compare the adverse effects and prognosis of locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (LANC) patients between the gemcitabine combined platinum (GP) regimen and other platinum-containing chemotherapy regimens by meta-analysis.
Methods We searched relevant databases and included the studies about comparing GP and other chemotherapy regimens in the treatment of LANC. Methodological quality was assessed for each included study. Statistical analysis was carried out using RevMan5.3 and Stata15 software.
Results The patients on GP regimen had a lower incidence of severe leukopenia and severe gastrointestinal reaction but a higher incidence of severe thrombocytopenia and hepatoxicity than those on other regimens (P < 0.05). The patients on GP regimen had a higher distant metastasis-free survival (P=0.004).
Conclusion GP regimen can be used as a safe, alternative and economical induction chemotherapy regimen for locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
