[Adaptive radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinomas: Where are we?].

Modern high-precision radiotherapy techniques have recently incorporated the notion of anatomical variations of the patient during treatment and have tried to adapt the treatment planning to them. Adaptive radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal tumors is starting to prove its benefit nowadays. His interest is constantly being evaluated.

Dosimetric impact on changes in target volumes during intensity-modulated radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Background And Purpose: To assess anatomic changes during intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and to determine its dosimetric impact.

Patients And Methods: Twenty patients treated with IMRT for NPC were enrolled in this study. A second CT was performed at 38 Gy.
