To evaluate the effect of smoking on prognosis of male nasopharyngeal carcinoma by comparing the treatment outcomes between smokers and non-smokers.
A total of 2450 nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients were enrolled, including 1865 male patients. Matching was performed between smokers and non-smokers in male patients according to age, UICC clinical stage, T stage, N stage and treatment. Survival outcomes were compared using Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox regression. Smoking index was calculated by multiplying cigarette packs per day and smoked time (year).
In male patients, smokers had significantly lower 5-year overall survival (70.1% vs. 77.5%, P<0.001) and locoregional recurrent free survival (76.8% vs.82.4%, P = 0.002) compared with non-smokers. Matched-pair analysis showed that smokers kept a high risk of death compared with non-smokers (HR = 2.316, P<0.001). High degree of smoking index (>15 pack-years) had a poor effect on overall survival (HR = 1.225, P = 0.016). When smoking index was more than 45 and 60 pack-years, the risk for death increased to 1.498 and 1.899 fold compared with non-smokers (P = 0.040, 0.001), respectively.
Smoking was a poor prognostic factor for male nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The heavier the patients smoked, the poorer prognosis they suffered.
通过比较吸烟者与非吸烟者的治疗结果,评估吸烟对男性鼻咽癌预后的影响。
共纳入2450例鼻咽癌患者,其中男性患者1865例。根据年龄、国际抗癌联盟(UICC)临床分期、T分期、N分期和治疗情况,对男性患者中的吸烟者与非吸烟者进行匹配。采用Kaplan-Meier分析和Cox回归比较生存结果。吸烟指数通过每日吸烟包数乘以吸烟时间(年)计算得出。
在男性患者中,吸烟者的5年总生存率(70.1%对77.5%,P<0.001)和无局部区域复发生存率(76.8%对82.4%,P = 0.002)显著低于非吸烟者。配对分析显示,与非吸烟者相比,吸烟者的死亡风险较高(风险比[HR]=2.316,P<0.001)。高吸烟指数(>15包年)对总生存率有不良影响(HR = 1.225,P = 0.016)。当吸烟指数超过45和60包年时,与非吸烟者相比,死亡风险分别增加至1.498倍和1.899倍(P = 0.040,0.001)。
吸烟是男性鼻咽癌预后不良的因素。患者吸烟越严重,预后越差。
