Background: MRI and PET/CT scans are the main supportive methods for nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) for staging and planning. The aim of this study is to compare MRI and PET/CT scanning in terms of survival in patients with NPC who had MRI or PET/CT-simulated radiotherapy planning.
Methods: Pathological diagnosed nonkeratinized undifferentiated type and stage II-IVA 91 NPC patients with treated intensity-modulated radiotherapy plus chemotherapy were scanned.
Purpose: To investigate the prognostic value of pre-treatment neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and hemoglobin level in patients treated with definitive chemoradiotherapy (CRT) for nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 97 patients who received definitive CRT for nasopharyngeal cancer. An NLR cut-off value of 4.
Pretreatment low prognostic nutritional index and low albumin-globulin ratio are predictive for overall survival in nasopharyngeal cancer.

Purpose: We designed this retrospective study to identify predictive value of prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and albumin-globulin ratio (AGR) in nasopharyngeal cancer patients (NPC).
Methods: 95 non-metastatic NPC patients were included in the study. AGR was calculated as the absolute counts between albumin and globulin measurements.
Introduction: Three-weekly cisplatin dose is accepted for standard treatment for concurrent chemo-radiotherapy in nasopharyngeal carcinoma. However, different chemotherapy schedules are presented in the literature.
Objective: We intend to compare toxicity and outcomes of high dose 3-weekly cisplatin versus low dose weekly-cisplatin and cumulative dose of cisplatin in the patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
