Abstract: Objective To evaluate the longterm survival outcomes and prognostic factors of locoregionally advanced (Ⅲ, ⅣA, ⅣB) nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC) patients treated with intensitymodulated radiation therapy (IMRT) plus chemotherapy in Jiangsu Province. Methods From January 2009 to December 2013, 635 locoregionally advanced NPC patients treated by IMRT and platinumbased chemotherapy were analyzed retrospectively. Survival data were calculated with a KaplanMeier method. Logrank test and Cox proportional hazard regression model were performed to investigate the risk factors of prognosis. Results With a median follow-up of 63.5 months (range 5.92 months), the 5-year local recurrence-free survival (LRFS), regional recurrence-free survival (RRFS), distant metastasisfree survival (DMFS), diseasefree survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were 88.4%, 94.2%, 79.2%, 71.9% and 76.3%, respectively. Of the 635 patients, 175 (276%) developed failure after treatment. Distant metastasis (n=131, 749%) was the major failure pattern after treatment. T stage was an independent prognostic factor for LRFS. N stage, clinical stage and chemotherapy were independent prognostic factors for RRFS, DMFS, DFS and OS. Conclusion IMRT provides satisfactory longterm outcome for NPC. T and N stage are important prognostic factors, as well as chemotherapy.
