Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Premature Ovarian Failure (POF)
Time Frame: 3 years after Radiotherapy
Premature Ovarian Failure (POF) was defined as menopause before age 40 years. Menopause was defined as cessation of menstruation at least 1 year before the date of the survey in the absence of pregnancy, breastfeeding, continuous use of progestagens or other medication causing amenorrhea, or surgical removal of uterus and/ or ovaries.
3 years after Radiotherapy

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Progress-Free Survival (PFS)
Time Frame: 3 years after Radiotherapy
Progress-free survival is calculated from the date of registration to the date of the first progress at any site.
3 years after Radiotherapy
Pregnancy and birth outcome
Time Frame: Within 6 month of diagnosis, or 3-5years after Radiotherapy

The pregnancy history and pregnancy outcome of female Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients before diagnosis of NPC would be investigate Within 6 months of diagnosis.

The pregnancy events and birth outcome of female NPC patients after diagnosis of NPC would be investigate among 3 to 5years after Radiotherapy.

Within 6 month of diagnosis, or 3-5years after Radiotherapy
Overall Survival (OS)
Time Frame: 3 years after Radiotherapy
The Overall Survival (OS) was defined as the duration from the date of registration assignment to the date of death from any cause or censored at the date of the last follow-up.
3 years after Radiotherapy
Locoregional Relapse-Free Survival (LRFS)
Time Frame: 3 years after Radiotherapy
The Locoregional Relapse-Free Survival (LRFS) is evaluated and calculated from the date of registration until the day of first locoregional relapse or until the date of the last follow-up visit
3 years after Radiotherapy
Distant Metastasis-Free Survival (DMFS)
Time Frame: 3 years after Radiotherapy
The DMFS is evaluated and calculated from the date of registration until the day of first distant metastases or until the date of the last follow-up visit.
3 years after Radiotherapy
