Abstract

This retrospective study was conducted to review the results of treatment and to identify prognostic factors for local and regional control in a population of 378 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinomas treated in a single institution by radiation therapy alone. All patients were treated at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center between 1954 and 1992 following a consistent treatment philosophy but with evolving technique. There were 286 males and 92 females with a median age of 52 years (range: 16-86 years). The majority of the patients were Caucasian (282 patients, 75%). Thirty-two patients (8%) had one or more cranial nerve deficits. Three-fourths of the patients presented with AJCC Stage IV disease (T4, N0-3, 118 patients; T1-3, N2-3 164 patients). Histologically, 193 tumors (51%) were squamous cell carcinomas, 154 (41%) lymphoepitheliomas, and 31 (8%) unclassified carcinomas. Average total dose varied with T-stage and ranged from 60.2 to 72.0 Gy. Median follow-up time was 10 years. For the entire population the 5-, 10-, and 20-year actuarial survival rates were 48, 34, and 18%, respectively, with 184 patients (49%) dying of nasopharyngeal cancer. Actuarial control rates at 5, 10, and 20 years were 71, 66, and ...Continue Reading
