AI Article Synopsis
- - A study analyzed 566 patients with early-stage nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) from 2004 to 2019 to identify independent risk factors linked to the disease.
- - Older age groups, specifically those aged 70-79 and over 80, were found to significantly increase risks of mortality, with hazard ratios indicating higher danger compared to younger patients.
- - Additionally, Asian and Pacific Islander residents had a lower risk of developing early-stage NPC compared to White residents, and smaller tumor sizes (<3 cm) provided better survival rates overall.
Article Abstract
To evaluate independent risk factors specific for early-stage nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). A total of 566 patients with early-stage NPC from 2004 to 2019 were identified using the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results database. Older ages (70-79 and >80 years) were independent risk factors, with hazard ratios of 1.961 and 5.011, respectively. The hazard ratio for early-stage NPC in Asian and Pacific Islander residents (0.475) was lower than that for White residents. A tumor size <3 cm was a protective factor for overall and cancer-specific survival in the current study. In patients with early-stage NPC, age >70 years, race and tumor size were independent prognosticators for cancer-specific survival.
