Abstract

From 1958 to 1982, 125 patients with histologically verified carcinoma of the nasopharynx were treated with external radiotherapy as the sole curative intent. The 5-year actuarial survival rates by stage were as follows: stage I 68%, stage II 64%, stage III 44%, and stage IV 20%. Primary control rate by T-category was 71% in T1, 67% in T2, 52% in T3, and 64% in T4. Regional control rate was 96% in NO, 76% in N1, 61% in N2, and 63% in N3. The T-category was found to be an important prognostic parameter for survival.
