Preceding treatment

Chemotherapy

  • Cisplatin (Platinol) 100 mg/m2 IV once per day on days 1, 22, 43
    • Wee et al. 2005 gave 25 mg/m2 IV once per day on days 1 to 4, 22 to 25, 43 to 46

Supportive therapy

  • Best described by Al-Sarraf et al. 1998
  • Forced hydration: 5% dextrose in 1/2 normal saline with 40 mEq KCl, 2000 mL IV continuous infusion over 24 hours given twice, prior to cisplatin and after the second mannitol infusion
  • Mannitol 12.5 g IV bolus once on day 1, prior to cisplatin
  • 5% dextrose in 1/2 normal saline with 30 mEq KCl and mannitol 25 g, 1000 mL IV over 4 hours immediately after cisplatin
  • Antiemetic such as Prochlorperazine (Compazine) 25 mg rectal suppository given once on day 1; 30 minutes prior to cisplatin
  • Prochlorperazine (Compazine) 10 mg IM every 4 hours as needed for nausea after cisplatin

  • Additional radiotherapy notes:
    • Intergroup 0099: Minimum total dose to neck nodes is 5000 cGy for N0 disease; 6600 cGy for nodes less than or equal to 2 cm in size; 7000 cGy for nodes greater than 2 cm.
    • Wee et al. 2005, NPC-9901, Tang et al. 2018, YP2010171, SYSUCC IRNPC15: see papers for details (to be added here, eventually)
