Acute Toxicities
The most common ≥3 grade toxicities were neutropenia (n=21, 25.3%) and
leukopenia (n=14, 16.9%) during IC and mucositis (n=26, 31.3%),
radiation dermatitis (n=5, 6.0%), leukopenia (n=5, 6.0%), and
neutropenia (n=5, 6.0%) during (chemo)radiotherapy. The toxicities
during therapies between the IC+CCRT and IC+RT groups were shown in
Table 4. Except that the ≥2 grade
leukopenia during IC was lower in the IC+CCRT group than in the IC+RT
group (23.1% vs. 67.7%, P <0.001), other toxicities
had no differences between IC+CCRT and IC+RT.
