The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the primary tumor site in stage I extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTCL) had a prognostic value. Between January 2009 and December 2015, 152 stage I ENKTCL patients with primary disease in the nasal cavity and Waldeyer's ring were enrolled for this retrospective study. All patients received extended field intensity-modulated radiotherapy alone without prophylactic cervical node irradiation at a total dose of 50 Gy.
