Radiotherapy with curative intent was administered to 159 of 167 consecutively admitted patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The classification (UICC 1982) gave the staging: stage I 8%, stage II 2%, stage III 28%, and stage IV 61 %.The actuarial local tumor control was 54% and correlated to the T-classification. Primary control of neck nodes was 67% but was not correlated to the N-classes. Distant failure occurred in 20% of the patients; this was correlated to the N-classification. The 10-year actuarially corrected survival rate was 37% (stage I + II 60%, stage III 49%, stage IV 27%). Late reactions were seen in 69%, and most patients had mild to moderate xerostomia. Men with high hemoglobin had a better prognosis than men with values in the lower part of the normal range. It is concluded that primary control in the T- and N-positions is the parameter most crucial to success.
