Abstract: Objective: To investigate the efficacy of spiral tomographic radiotherapy combined with TPF induction chemotherapy (docetaxel + cisplatin + 5-fluorouracil) in the treatment of locally advanced oropharyngeal cancer and logistic regression equation analysis of its influencing factors. Methods: The clinical data of 56 patients with locally advanced oropharyngeal cancer treated with spiral tomographic radiotherapy combined with TPF chemotherapy in our hospital from January 2015 to Oct 2017 were selected and retrospectively studied. The short-term curative effect, long-term curative effect, and the occurrence of toxic and side effects of 56 patients were statistically observed, and the factors affecting the short-term and long-term curative effect were analyzed by multivariate Logistic and Cox. Results: The ORR of spiral tomographic radiotherapy combined with TPF chemotherapy for locally advanced oropharyngeal cancer patients was 53.57%, and the 1, 3, and 5-year survival rates were 83.93%, 64.29%, and 39.29%, respectively. Univariate analysis showed that the ORR and 5-year survival rate of patients with locally advanced oropharyngeal cancer of different ages, clinical stages, and degree of differentiation were statistically significant (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that with the increase of age, clinical stage, and degree of differentiation, the short-term and long-term efficacy of locally advanced oropharyngeal cancer patients gradually decreased (P<0.05). During the treatment, the incidence of white blood cell decline ≥ grade Ⅲ was 21.43%, the incidence of platelet decline ≥ grade Ⅲ was 1.79%, the incidence of oral mucositis ≥ grade Ⅲ was 7.14%, and the incidence of radiation dermatitis ≥ grade Ⅲ was 8.93%. Conclusion: Spiral tomographic radiotherapy combined with TPF chemotherapy is effective in the treatment of locally advanced oropharyngeal cancer. The toxic and side effects are mostly within the tolerable range. Age, clinical stage, and degree of differentiation are influencing factors for its short-term and long-term efficacy, and sufficient clinical attention should be paid.
