The multivariate results confirmed that an SUV max ≥8.65 was a highly significant predictor for OS for locoregional recurrent patients (HR = 4.882; 95%CI = 1.055–22.590; P = 0.042; Table 2 ), independent of restage, EBV DNA level, family history of tumor, gender and age.

Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analyses further confirmed that age (HR = 2.687; 95%CI = 1.156–6.244; P = 0.022) and EBV DNA (HR = 3.269; 95%CI = 1.383–7.728; P = 0.007) were highly significant prognostic factors for OS, and SUV max of patients with distant recurrence was borderline significant (HR = 2.415; 95%CI = 0.956–6.101; P = 0.062).
