Relationship between primary tumor volume and radiotherapeutic outcome in nasopharyngeal carcinoma / 中华放射肿瘤学杂志

ABSTRACT

60 cm 3). Primary tumor volume was found to be an independent prognostic factor of local control in multivariant analysis without any statistical significance to predict the disease-free survival or distant relapse-free survival rates. Conclusion The greater volume disparity with the same T stage and the data extension overlap with different T stages are demonstrated and the primary tumor volume may be considered as a prognostic factor in the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
