Treating Locally Advanced Head and Neck Malignant Tumor With Anlotinib and Chemoradiotherapy

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.
