Abstract:
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is one of the most common head and neck tumors. At present, intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is the main radical treatment. In recent years, adaptive radiation therapy (ART) becomes the focus in the research field of precision radiotherapy. ART can reduce the target conformal and dose changes and increase the dose of exposed organs caused by factors such as weight loss, positioning error, systematic error, and anatomical changes of lesions and organs at risk, thus improving the effectiveness and safety of intensity modulated radiotherapy. This article focuses on and summarizes the recent progress in the application of ART in nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and puts forward the possible research direction in the future.
