Stereotactic radiotherapy for locally recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Abstract

Stereotactic radiotherapy with isocentric multiportals in one plane, which is changed at every 20 to 30 Gy, can provide local control with acceptable toxicity in patients with recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma, but increased clinical experience and longer follow-up will be necessary to evaluate the overall role of this technique in nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
