Abstract

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a common head and neck malignant tumor. Radiotherapy can effectively improve the tumor control rate because of its sensitivity to radiation. With the continuous update of radiotherapy technology, on the basis of conventional fractionated radiotherapy, unconventional fractionated radiotherapy, 3D conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT), intensity modulated conformal radiotherapy (IMRT), volume arc intensity modulated radiotherapy (VMAT) and other methods have been developed. In this paper, the research progress of radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma was briefly reviewed.
