✦ Synopsis

BACKGROUND.

Tumor-associated tissue eosinophilia (TATE) has been associated with an improved prognosis in a variety of neoplasms.

METHODS.

Diagnostic biopsy specimens from 96 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) were reviewed for the presence of TATE by an observer blinded to the patients' clinical histories. Comparisons between patients with and without TATE with respect to the probabilities of local recurrence, distant metastasis, and survival were performed using the log rank test on Kaplan-Meier product-limit estimates and the Cox proportional hazards model.
