Mixed Photon and Carbon-Ion Beam Radiotherapy in the Management of Non-Metastatic Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

Mixed Photon and Carbon-Ion Beam Radiotherapy in the Management of Non-Metastatic Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

BackgroundCarbon-ion radiotherapy (CIRT) may further increase the therapeutic ratio for patients with newly diagnosed nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). The purpose of the current study is to examine the effectiveness and toxicity profile of photon-based intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) plus CIR...
