Abstract:
The application of precision medicine in cancer treatment is becoming increasingly common as a result of the continuous advancement in basic research and physical techniques.The revolution of radiotherapy techniques, development of multimodal imaging technology, application of biological target dose carving and adaptive radiotherapy, availability of big data-based radiotherapy planning systems, and selection of chemotherapy regimen have all made the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma increasingly precise.The growing interaction between laboratory research and clinical practice not only underscores the importance of translational medicine, but also prompts the development of biological immunotherapy and screening of prognostic factors.As a result, these changes mark the beginning of a new era for the diagnosis and treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.This review provides a summary from 61 articles on the current progress in translational study and clinical application of precision medicine in nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
