It is well known that more than 80% of newly diagnosed NPC patients are nonmetastatic. Older adult patients with nonmetastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma have a poor chance of survival relative to younger patients. With the world's aging population, the treatment of older adults with nonmetastatic NPC has attracted more attention from clinicians. The use of the American Joint Committee on Cancer staging system alone has significant shortcomings in predicting survival outcomes. Therefore, the authors developed a predictive tool by combining more prognostic factors with a specific multivariable statistical model, including age, tumor stage, node stage and treatment type, which is helpful for clinicians to more accurately evaluate the prognosis of patients.
