Background. The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy and toxicities of reirradiation using intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) in patients with locally advanced recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).Methods. Thirty-eight patients with consecutive rT3 to rT4 NPC treated between 2005 and 2013 were retrospectively analyzed.Results. The 3-year overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and local control rate were 47.2%, 17.5%, and 44.3%, respectively. Gross target volume (GTV) D-95, GTV D-50, and age were all important prognostic factors for OS and PFS, but only GTV D-95 was an important determinant for local control. A total of 73.7% patients experienced >= 1 grade 3 late toxicities and 3 patients died of massive epistaxis. Temporal lobe necrosis (TLN) developed sooner with a higher total biological equivalent dose.Conclusion. Adequate tumor dose coverage was important for treating rT3 to rT4 NPC. Although late complications were common, treatment-related mortality was solely vascular in nature. Dose constraints of neurologic structures for reirradiation should be revised with the latest information on late toxicities. (C) 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
