Motivation: Deeply infiltrating tumors have a poor prognosis and need close follow-up. Whether the depth of invasion could serve as a quantitative prognostic indicator in NPC. The prognostic assessment value of synthetic MRI (SyMRI) needs further analysis.
Goal(s): To explore the value of two quantitative methods in prognostic assessment in NPC, including depth of invasion and SyMRI.
Approach: This study prospectively included NPC patients, and utilized multiple statistical methods to construct and validate two methods.
Results: Depth of invasion and SyMRI are important quantitative methods.
Impact: Tumor invasion depth is an unignorable metric, and combining it with SyMRI may provide a quantitative and objective approach for clinical treatment.
