Background: Identification of pretreatment prognostic factors influencing overall survival (OS) in locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck is an important issue in head and neck oncology. Methods: A total of 289 patients were treated with standard fraction or hyperfractionated radiation therapy with or without concurrent low-dose daily chemotherapy. Results: Gender (P = 0.43) and age (P = 0.26) did not influence OS whereas Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) (P < 0.0001), T stage (P < 0.0001), and N stage (P < 0.0001) did. Stage grouping was another factor that influenced OS (P < 0.001). Patients with larynx and nasopharynx fared better than those with other primaries (P = 0.0153). Finally, treatment significantly influenced OS. Multivariate analysis showed that KPS, T and N stage, and treatment were independent prognosticators of OS. Conclusions: KPS, T and N stage, and treatment are independent prognosticators of OS in patients with locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck treated with radiation therapy with or without concurrent low-dose daily chemotherapy.
