Abstract

We reported the data on 25 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma from 1984 to 1989, who received chemo-radiotherapy for initial treatment and follow-up by additional maintenance of chemotherapy for 2 years. The result of this study is as follows. 1. The 20 males and 5 females were included. 2. A median age of the patients was 62 years. 3. Stage grouping study showed 3 cases of stage II, 6 of stage III, and 16 of stage IV. 4. The local control rate was 92% and the rate of control in the cervical region was 96%. 5. However, the overall 4-year survival rate obtained by the Kaplan-Meiers method was 50%. 6. The cause of patients' death was mainly distant metastasis.
