Abstract:
BACKGROUND:MRI and PET/CT scans are the main supportive methods for nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) for staging and planning. The aim of this study is to compare MRI and PET/CT scanning in terms of survival in patients with NPC who had MRI or PET/CT-simulated radiotherapy planning. METHODS:Pathological diagnosed nonkeratinized undifferentiated type and stage II-IVA 91 NPC patients with treated intensity-modulated radiotherapy plus chemotherapy were scanned. The patients were immobilized by a customized thermoplastic mask for fusion images both MRI scans and PET/CT scans. CTVs were created via MR-guided simulation and PET/CT-guided simulation. RESULTS:PET/CT-guided simulation was performed with 44 patients (56.4%) and MR-guided simulation was performed with 34 patients (43.6%). Local recurrence-free survival (LRFS) of patients was 68.1 months. LRFS of patients with PET/CT-guided simulation was 59.9, while LRFS of patients with MR-guided was 66.9 months. There was a statistically significant difference between groups (P = .03). In the subgroup analyses, the patients were assessed by dividing into the three groups for the T1-T2 stage, T-3 stage, and T-4 stage. In the patients with T1-T2 stage, 5-year LRFS rates were found %74.4 for PET/CT-guided simulation and %83.3 for MR-guided simulation. There was no statistically significant difference between groups (P = .33). In the patients with T-3 stage, 5-year LRFS rates were found %55.6 for PET/CT-guided simulation and %83.3 for MR-guided simulation. There was not a statistically significant difference between groups (P = .59). In the patients with T-4 stage, 5-year LRFS rates were found %42.2 for PET/CT-guided simulation and %85.1 for MR-guided simulation. The difference between groups was found to be statistically significant (P = .04). CONCLUSION:In this study, we founded that MR-guided simulation has better than PET/CT-guided simulation for LRFS.
