A subgroup analysis of locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients with small lymph nodes and large nodes using adaptive radiotherapy
Due to significant anatomical changes in the volume and position of both target volumes and organs at risk during the later fractions of radiotherapy for NPC, the dose coverage of lymph-node regions can no longer meet clinical requirements. Adaptive radiotherapy ensures adequate target coverage while simultaneously reducing the dose to surrounding critical structures.
