Purpose The treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma requires high radiation doses. The
balance of the risks of local recurrence owing to inadequate tumor coverage versus the …

The standard treatment for the cancer is the radiotherapy where the organs nearby the target
volumes get affected during treatment called the Organs-at-risk. Segmentation of Organs-at …

Purpose. Radiotherapy‐induced sensorineural hearing loss (RISNHL) is a common adverse
effect in patients with head and neck cancer. Given that there are few studies on the …

Background and purpose To compare physician and patient reported xerostomia and
correlate xerostomia with dosimetric and clinical parameters for nasopharyngeal cancer …

Dysphagia is a side effect of nasopharyngeal carcinoma chemo-radiotherapy (CRT) which
greatly influences the quality of life of the patients. We analyzed late dysphagia in 134 …

Xerostomia is a common radiation-induced late complication after radiotherapy. Identifying
predictive factors for xerostomia will lead to better treatments and improve the quality of life …

Hearing loss is 1 of the major complications after radiotherapy in nasopharyngeal carcinoma
(NPC) patients, how to minimize dose to cochlea in order to reduce the incidence of …

Aim To compare intensity modulated radiotherapy with simultaneous integrated boost (IMRT-
SIB) and a 3-dimensional conformal parotid gland-sparing radiotherapy (ConPas 3D-CRT) …

Background: We aim at describing the incidence, potential predisposing factors, and
progression of major radiotherapy-related neurologic complications (RRNC) in …

A small proportion of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients show resistance to
induction chemotherapy (IC). This study sought to investigate the impact of tumor volume …
