Phase II study: Response adapted radiation therapy after induction chemotherapy in stage II-IVA nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Phase 2
Conditions
Due to the reports of radiation dose reduction in clinical response to induction chemotherapy of NPC patients are scarce. Therefore&#44
We propose a phase II study to evaluate efficacy and feasibility of
nasopharyngeal carcinoma &#44
induction chemotherapy &#44
