Comparison of long-term quality of life and their predictors in survivors between paediatric and adult nasopharyngeal carcinoma in the intensity-modulated radiotherapy era
Paediatric survivors of NPC have a significantly better QoL than adult NPC survivors. Moreover, pre-treatment T stage, N stage, and EBV DNA significantly influenced the overall health status of the survivors. These results highlight the need to tailor care to both age groups to promote better long-term health outcomes.
