Prognostic factors and long‐term outcomes of nasopharyngeal carcinoma in children and adolescents

Abstract

Children and adolescents with advanced NPC had a relatively good rate of long-term survival. However, 28% of the survivors had serious long-term treatment-related morbidities. In addition to clinical stage and complete response or partial response, age was an independent prognostic factor in pediatric and adolescent NPC.
