Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Treated With Reduced Volume Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy:10-Year Outcome and Late Toxicity, Quality of Life
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a type of head and neck cancer. The last three decades of research in head and neck radiation oncology have largely focused on improvements in survival, which have mostly come at the cost of long term toxicity for surviving patients.This is an observational study that is being done to evaluate the long-term efficacy, learn about the toxicity and quality of life that survivors of nasopharyngeal carcinoma may have following treated with reduced volume intensity modulated radiation therapy.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Overall survival [10 years]
Overall survival is calculated from diagnosis to death from any cause
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Loco-regional failure-free survival [10 years]
Loco-regional failure-free survival is calculated from diagnosis to the first loco-regional failure
- Failure-free survival [10 years]
Failure-free survival rate is calculated from the date of diagnosis to the date of treatment failure or death from any cause, whichever is first
- Distant failure-free survival [10 years]
Distant failure-free survival is calculated from diagnosis to the first remote failure
- Quality of Life Questionnaires QLQ-C30 [1year]
Quality of life as measured by QLQ-C30
- Quality of Life Questionnaires [1year]
Quality of life as measured by QLQ H&N35
- Evaluation of late toxicities [1year]
Clinical toxicities will be grade according to RTOG/CTCAE
