Impact of primary tumor volume and location on the prognosis of patients with locally recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

CONCLUSIONS: A new staging system has been proposed, with T3 tumors being down-staged to T2 and with the tumor volume being incorporated into the staging, which may lead to an improved evaluation of these tumors. This new system can be used to guide the treatment strategy for different risk groups of recurrent NPC. PMID: 26063113 [PubMed - in process]
