Combined High-dose Radiation Therapy and Systemic Chemotherapy Improves Survival in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Metastatic Nasopharyngeal Cancer

Abstract

High-dose RT is indicated for local disease control in patients with metastatic NPC, and may improve survival when actively used with systemic chemotherapy and local treatment for metastatic foci. Patients with single-organ metastases have a better prognosis as compared with those with more widespread metastases.
