The benefits of adding anti‐EGFR therapy to conventional chemoradiotherapy (CRT) for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) remain uncertain, possibly because only a subgroup of patients show better outcome. To address this issue, we compared the efficacy of CRT plus cetuximab (CTX) or nimotuzumab (NTZ) to CRT alone for stage II‐IVb NPC and examined possible prognostic indicators, including tumour EGFR and VEGR expression levels.
