International Consensus Guideline on Delineation of the Clinical Target Volumes at Different Dose Levels for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (2024 Version)
Amidst the challenges of diverging practices, a comprehensive consensus guideline has been devised based on updated evidence and collective agreement among international experts. This serves as a practical reference for optimal target coverage at different dose levels to maximize locoregional control while minimizing toxicities and guiding principles for generating automated contouring programs to enhance standardization.
