About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the efficacy and safety of endoscopic nasopharyngectomy combined with retropharyngeal lymph nodes dissection plus bilateral upper neck lymph node dissection or plus postoperative low-dose radiotherapy in newly diagnosed stage Ⅰ nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Performance Status Score 0-1 points.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Local Regional Relapse-Free Survival (LRRFS)

The LRRFS is evaluated and calculated from the date of random assignment until the day of first local regional relapse or until the date of the last follow-up visit.

Time frame
2 years

Secondary outcomes

1

The incidence of serious complications

Common Adverse Event Evaluation Criteria (CTCAE) version 5.0 evaluates acute and late-stage subjective toxicity reactions.

Time frame
2 years
2

Overall Survival (OS)

The OS was defined as the duration from the date of random assignment to the date of death from any cause or censored at the date of the last follow-up.

Time frame
2 years
3

Distant Metastasis-Free Survival (DMFS)

The DMFS is evaluated and calculated from the date of random assignment until the day of first distant metastases or until the date of the last follow-up visit.

Time frame
2 years
4

Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

The PFS was defined as the duration from the date of random assignment to the date of disease progression or censored at the date of the last follow-up.

Time frame
2 years
