Object To ascertain the treatment effect of concurrent chemotherapy (CCT) in stage II-III nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients with different Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA level in intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) era. Methods A total of 2742 patients diagnosed with stage II-III NPC were involved in this study. Patients received IMRT with/without CCT. Overall survival (OS) was the primary endpoint. Receiver operating characteristics curve was used to determine the cut-off value of pre-DNA based on OS. After propensity score matching, the role of CCT was explored in patients with different EBV DNA level. Results In our cohort, the cut-off value of pre EBV DNA was 1460 copies/mL (area under curve [AUC], 0.695-0.769; sensitivity, 0.766; specificity, 0.599). Patients with high EBV DNA level showed poor survival in OS, progression free survival (PFS), locoregional relapse-free survival (LRFS) and distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS). In patients with EBV DNA level >1460 copies/mL, the concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) group achieved higher 3-year OS compared with IMRT groups. However, the CCRT and IMRT groups showed comparable OS in patients with EBV DNA 1460 copies/mL), while not an independent prognostic factor among the low-risk patients (EBV DNA level
