All received intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT)\u00b1chemotherapy (CT) from 2001 to 2010.Results With 15.7-year median follow-up, 10-year locoregional recurrence-free survival, distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS), disease-specific survival (DSS), and overall survival (OS) were 93.3%, 93.5%, 92.9% and 88.2%, respectively. Multivariable analyses showed cervical lymph nodes positive and pre-treatment prognostic nutritional index \u2265 52.0 could independently predict DMFS (p=0.036 and p=0.011), DSS (p=0.014 and p=0.026), and OS (p=0.002 and p &lt; 0.001); Charlson comorbidity index &lt; 3 points could predict DSS (p=0.011); age &gt; 45 years (p=0.002) and pre-treatment lactate dehydrogenase \u2265 240 U\/L (p &lt; 0.001) predicted OS. No grade 4 late toxicity happened; grade 3 late toxicities included subcutaneous fibrosis (4.3%), deafness or otitis (4.8%), skin dystrophy (2.1%), and xerostomia (1.1%). No differences on survivals were shown between IMRT+CT vs. IMRT alone in stage II patients, even in T2N1M0 (p &gt; 0.05). Unsurprising, patients in IMRT+CT had more acute gastrointestinal reaction, myelosuppression, mucositis, late ear toxicity, and cranial nerve injury (all p &lt; 0.05) than IMRT alone group.Conclusion Superior tumor control and satisfying long-term outcomes could be achieved with IMRT in early-stage NPC with mild late toxicities. As CT would bring more toxicities, it should be carefully performed to stage II patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4143\/crt.2021.101","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,7]],"date-time":"2021-06-07T02:09:50Z","timestamp":1623031790000},"page":"118-129","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4143\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["Long-term
