Conclusion:
In LANC patients whose carotid artery invasion was <270º, HT
combined with CCRT and EGFR inhibitor after induction chemotherapy had
mild and tolerable side effects, better PFS and DMFS, with no massive
hemorrhage. In patients ≥270º, diabetes with poor control or
re-radiotherapy led to a higher risk of massive hemorrhage after
radiotherapy.
