52 non-keratinzed epithelial carcinoma (NPC) patients treated by radiotherapy were studied in Thai Nguyen Central Hospital in 2002-2003 year period. Result showed the gender rate male/female = 1.7:1, the most common age: 40-60, ethnic groups: Kinh 48.1%, minority 51.9%, smoking rate: 93.9% in male. Most of tumor forms were revealed consisting of 61.5% mixed form 2.2%, underdermal form 13.5%. Pathoanatomically, undifferential carcinoma cosisted of 84.6%, NPC 3.84% and keratinized 11.53%. 55.8% of cases had responsiveness with radiotherapy and 5.8 no responsiveness. Common side effect was mouth drying 75%, weakenness of chewing muscle 76%, burn on radiated skin area 53.8%, swallowing difficulty 32.7%, reduce white blood count 38.5%, hair loss 11.5%

195 patients with tonsil carcinoma were treated by simple external radiation at K Hospital from January 1990 to January 2001. Results showed: the rate of response to simple external radiation in all episode was 58.9%, partial response 41.1%, no unresponsive case or progresive case. The rate of responsive effect of external radiation on tumor was T1, T2 - 100%, T3 - 47%, T4 - 0%, N1 - 100%; N2 - 82.4%; N3 - 20.4%. The responsive rate of external radiation on tumor and adenomas was depended mainly on the sign, the invasion of the tumor and the adenome, but no relation with histopathological type.

In oncologic practice, treatment guidelines provide appropriate treatment strategies based on evidence. Currently, many guidelines are used, including those of the European Association for the Study of the Liver and European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EASL-EORTC), National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), Asia-Pacific Primary Liver Cancer Expert (APPLE), and Korean Liver Cancer Study Group and National Cancer Centre (KLCSG-NCC). Although radiotherapy is commonly used in clinical practice, some guidelines do not accept it as a standard treatment modality. In this review, we will investigate the clinical practice guidelines currently used, and discuss the application of radiotherapy.

To compare the performance of ArcCheck and film verification for volumetric intensity modulated arc therapy (VMAT) in the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and to study the feasibility of ArcCheck in VMAT dosimetric verification. Five patients of nasopharyngeal carcinoma treated with VMAT were enrolled in this study. Dose verification was carried out by ArcCheck and film respectively. The result showed that there were no significant differences between ArcCheck and film verification. ArcCheck software can obtain three dimensional dose distribution directly with simple operation. It is convenient for ArcCheck to be used for VMAT dosimetric verification.
