Abstract:
Local and/or regional recurrence is a common cause of the failure of primary radical radiotherapy for nasopharyn-geal carcinoma,and it is also a clinically existing treatment problem. Re-radiation therapy is one of main effective means of treatment for recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The article summarizes the recent domestic and abroad literatures on radiotherapy in vitro(in-cluding conventional two-dimensional,three-dimensional conformal,intensity-modulated radiotherapy),stereotactic radiotherapy, brachytherapy,proton beam and heavy ion therapy for recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma,and summarized the advantages and disad-vantages of different radiotherapies as well as their efficacies.
