PHASE1

Application of Endoscopic Selective Neck Dissection Under Multimodal Assessment for Residual Cervical Lymph Nodes in N3 Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma After Radiotherapy

Sponsor: Guiquan Zhu

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The goal of this phase I clinical trial is to learn whether a multimodal follow-up evaluation combined with endoscopic selective neck dissection (ESND) is safe and feasible in patients with newly diagnosed N3 nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is the multimodal evaluation-guided surveillance-intervention approach safe for patients? * Is this approach feasible for identifying and managing residual cervical lymph nodes after radiotherapy? Participants will receive standard chemoradiotherapy. After treatment, they will undergo follow-up evaluation using clinical assessment, conventional imaging, Epstein-Barr virus DNA testing, and contrast-enhanced ultrasound. Participants with clinically suspicious residual cervical lymph nodes identified by multimodal evaluation and eligible for surgery underwent endoscopic selective neck dissection.
