摘要

Abstract

Background and purpose

The delineation of clinical target volume (CTV) for primary nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is currently controversial and the international guideline still recommend a uniform border for CTV regardless of the tumor extent. We conducted this prospective, real-world study to evaluate the clinical outcomes of our individualized CTV delineation method based on distance plus substructures.

Materials and Methods

We preliminarily investigated the local extension patterns of NPC on 354 newly diagnosed patients and defined the structures surrounding the nasopharynx as Level-1 to Level-4 substructures stratified by the risk of invasion. We then enrolled patients with newly diagnosed NPC without distant metastasis to investigate our individualized CTV delineation protocol. All patients received intensity modulated radiotherapy. CTV1 and CTV2 were prescribed doses of 60 Gy and 54 Gy in 30∼33 fractions. The primary endpoint was local recurrence-free survival (LRFS); secondary endpoints included regional control and survival, estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. The local failure patterns were also analyzed.

Results

From January 2008 to December 2012 and from January 2013 to September 2019, 356 and 648 patients were enrolled, named as training set and validation set, respectively. With a median follow-up of 104.6 (interquartile, 73.1-126.9) and 51.4 (39.5-78.5) months, 31 (8.7%) and 38 (5.9%) patients in training and validation sets experienced local recurrence, and the 5-year LRFS was 93.0% and 93.2%, respectively; 63 (17.7%) and 39 (6%) patients died in training and validation sets, and the 5-year overall survival (OS) was 88.5% and 93.4%, respectively. For the whole study cohort (N=1004) with a median follow-up of 66.6 (41.5-98.0) months, the 5-year LRFS and OS was 93.2% and 91.5%. The grade 3 late toxicities included xerostomia, subcutaneous fibrosis, hearing impairment, trismus, visuality impairment and skin atrophy, with a total incidence of 1.5%. Sixty-seven of 69 (97.1%) local recurrence was in high-dose area.

Conclusion

Our individualized CTV delineation method can achieve favorable local tumor control and long-term survival outcomes with acceptable late toxicities.
