Improved Overall Survival Due to Reduced Waiting Time in Nasopharyngeal Cancer Patients Treated with Chemoradiotherapy in Yogyakarta, Indonesia

In conclusion, this study analyzed the impact of WT and OTT on outcomes for NPC patients undergoing chemoradiotherapy at Dr. Sardjito Hospital. A significant decrease in WT of 97 days was observed when compared to 2018. However, the limited availability of advanced imaging likely resulted in an underestimation of distant metastases, leading to a 2-yr OS of 60.5%. Better staging methods, as well as improved awareness of NPC, are crucial for better treatment decisions and improving future patient outcomes.
