Abstract

Background

American Joint Committee on Cancer/Union for International Cancer Control (AJCC/UICC) rT staging have great clinical impracticality. The aim of the present study was to establish a new rT staging to guide endoscopic surgery for the treatment of recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma (rNPC).

Methods

This surgical rT staging (named Fudan rT staging) was constructed using two significant risk factors: the distance from the tumor margin to the internal carotid artery, and dural invasion. Log-rank and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses were used to evaluate its effectiveness.

Results

Fudan rT staging can effectively separate the overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) of patients with rNPC according to the different rT stages (p < 0.05). In addition, ROC analysis showed that the Fudan rT staging exhibited enhanced prognostic value for OS and PFS compared with the AJCC/UICC rT staging.

Conclusions

The innovative Fudan rT staging has a better predictive value for the survival of patients with rNPC than AJCC/UICC rT staging.
