| مستخلص: | The research paper offers a detailed analysis of induction chemotherapy regimens for locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (LA-NPC), assessing their effectiveness and cost-effectiveness. It presents important data on disease-free survival and overall survival outcomes. However, this letter suggests several improvements. It advocates for the inclusion of patient-centered outcomes such as quality of life and functional status to better gauge treatment impacts on daily living. Additionally, it calls for a more thorough investigation into long-term adverse effects and the role of biomarkers in tailoring treatments. It also recommends a comparative analysis of cost-effectiveness across various healthcare systems and the creation of practical guidelines for regimen selection. These proposed changes aim to enhance the study's practical relevance and clinical applicability.
