Comparative Study
Patterns of care and treatment outcomes for local recurrence of NPC after definite IMRT-A study by the HKNPCSG.
This study evaluates the contemporary care for patients with locally recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma after failure of the primary course of intensity modulated radiotherapy. ⋯ Early detection of resectable recurrence is of paramount importance as surgery for resectable tumors offers the potential to achieve excellent outcomes. Re-RT could be considered in selected patients with unresectable disease and favorable prognostic features.
