T4 nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) with close proximity to critical organs at risk (OARs) is usually underdosed during radiotherapy in order to respect radiation constraints. N3 disease has high risk of distant metastasis. Induction chemotherapy (IC) provides advantages of sparing of OARs during subsequent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) and early eradication of micrometastasis. However, factors predicting successes of IC in this patient group are not well‐studied.
