About

Head and neck tumors include well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, adenoid cystic carcinoma, small cell carcinoma, sarcoma, olfactory blastoma, and mucoepidermoid carcinoma, which are highly invasive and have a high rate of recurrence and metastasis. For tumors that cannot be radically removed at the local advanced stage, even after traditional comprehensive treatment, survival is still very low. Therefore, we need to explore new treatment methods to achieve tumor degeneration and increase the surgical resection rate or control local lesions to improve the survival rate of tumors. According to previous research reports and clinical exploration, anlotinib has evidence support for the treatment of locally advanced head and neck tumors. With a considerable effect in the early stage, we tried to initially observe the clinical treatment efficiency, toxic and side effects, progression-free survival time, overall survival time and quality of life of anlotinib in the treatment of patients with refractory head and neck carcinoma. Provide patients with a more optimal treatment plan and improve survival.

Full description

We will prospectively collect 30 patients who receive anlotinib combined with chemoradiotherapy. Data will be stored in a private database. The process of data collection will be supervised and regular data examination will be performed.

Enrollment: 30 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 75 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Trial design

Primary purpose: Treatment

Allocation: N/A

Interventional model: Single Group Assignment

Masking: None (Open label)

---

30 participants in 1 patient group

Anlotinib group

Experimental group

Description:

After 2 cycles of anlotinib treatment, we evaluate the therapeutic effect of tumor treatment: If it achieve downgrading and is operable, surgical treatment will be performed; if it is still inoperable and could accept radiotherapy, radiotherapy and chemotherapy will be combined with oral chemotherapy of anlotinib until the end of radiotherapy. Efficiency and side effects will be evaluated within 3 months after therapy. Finally, the survival is in follow-up.
