Characteristics of Early Death in Patients With Localized Nasopharyngeal Cancer: A Population-Based SEER Analysis
Localized nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) is a highly curable disease, but the prognosis of certain cases is still poor. Distinguishing patients with a poor outcome is necessary when developing therapeutic strategies. The aim of this study was to investigate the characteristics of early death (ED) among...

description | Localized nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) is a highly curable disease, but the prognosis of certain cases is still poor. Distinguishing patients with a poor outcome is necessary when developing therapeutic strategies. The aim of this study was to investigate the characteristics of early death (ED) among patients with localized NPC, and to identify independent predictors of ED. Patients diagnosed with localized NPC were included from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results dataset, and univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify ED predictors. A total of 752 patients with localized NPC were enrolled, including 198 cases of ED and 480 long-term survivors. Older age, unmarried status, and white race were risk factors for ED, whereas diagnosis in the recent period and undifferentiated non-keratinizing histology type were protective factors. In addition, for older patients, women and those without radiation treatment, there was less ED for married patients than unmarried patients. In conclusion, this population-based study provides an overview of the characteristics of ED patients with localized NPC. Age, race, marital status, year of diagnosis and histology type are risk factors for ED. Moreover, married patients are at a significantly lower risk of ED. This protective effect is especially pronounced in older people, women and those without radiation treatment. |
