Radiation-induced acute injury of intensity-modulated radiotherapy versus three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy in induction chemotherapy followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy for locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma: a prospective cohort study

Abstract To address whether the addition of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) compared to three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) aggravate radiation-induced acute injury of locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (LANPC) patients with induction chemotherapy (IC) followed by...
