JCO We previously reported comparable 3-year regional relapse-free survival (RRFS) using elective upper-neck irradiation (UNI) in N0-1 nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) compared with standard whole-neck irradiation (WNI). Here, we present the prespecified 5-year overall survival (OS), RRFS, late toxicity, and additional analyses. In this randomized trial, patients received UNI (n = 224) or WNI (n = 222) for an uninvolved neck.

Background: This meta-analysis aimed to investigate the efficacy and radiation-related toxicities of upper-neck irradiation (UNI) over whole-neck irradiation (WNI) in patients with unilateral or bilateral node-negative nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Methods: We conducted a systematic review to identify studies comparing survival and toxicities between UNI and WNI by searching key databases up to Aug 2022. Hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for regional recurrence-free survival (RRFS), local recurrence-free survival (LRFS), distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) were pooled using R 4.
