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.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
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.
Secondary outcomes
The incidence of serious complications
Common Adverse Event Evaluation Criteria (CTCAE) version 5.0 evaluates acute and late-stage subjective toxicity reactions.
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.
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.
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.
