We reviewed 17 consecutive patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma treated at our hospital between 1993 and 2004. The male to female ratio was 13: 4. The most frequent chief complaint was cervical mass. Most of the patients were classified stages III or IV.<BR>The overall 5-year survival rate was 67.8 % (Kaplan-Meier method). An improvement was shown compared with a past data for our department (51.3%).<BR>When investigating according to the method of treatment, one patient was treated by radiotherapy alone, five were treated by neoadjuvant chemotherapy, eight were treated by neoadjuvant chemotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy, three were treated by concurrent hemoradiotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy.<BR>The results according to the method of treatment showed no significant differences.<BR>We conclude that Type I of the WHO classification and N3 of the TNM classification are the poor prognostic factors.
