Radiation-induced nasopharyngeal necrosis combined with local recurrence in nasopharyngeal carcinoma: diagnosis and treatment strategies
Histopathological diagnosis of RNNCLR needs repeated biopsies or even surgery. Careful analysis of MRI images, correlation with interval time from last radiation, and short-term follow-up may solve the diagnostic dilemmas. Endoscopic surgery results in a survival benefit by completely resecting lesions or removing necrotic tissue to reduce necrosis-related complications.
