Abstract

Objective: To describe some clinical and para-clinical features of patients with recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma at National Cancer Hospital from June 2022 to September 2024. Patients and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 39 patients diagnosed with recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma at the Head and Neck Radiation Department of K Hospital from June 2022 to September 2024. Results: The average age was 53.9 ± 10 years [39–78], with a male-to-female ratio of 2:1. Headache was the most common reason for hospital admission, accounting for 33.3%. Patients in stages III and IVa before initial treatment had a high recurrence rate, comprising 76.9% of the cases. At recurrence, the predominant stage was IVa (25.6%). The average time to recurrence was 30.3 ± 16.6 months [8.53–71.63]. Conclusion: Recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma is more commonly observed in middle-aged male patients, predominantly at stage IVa, and frequently occurs within the first two years after treatment.
