TL;DR: IMRT is superior to 2DRT in preserving parotid function and results in less severe delayed xerostomia in the treatment of early-stage NPC, which reflects the need to enhance protection of other salivary glands.

TL;DR: The authors' experience of using IMRT in the primary treatment of NPC showed a very high rate of locoregional control and favorable toxicity profile, and it was found that dose escalation above 66 Gy of IMRT-based therapy was a significant determinant of progression- free survival and distant metastasis-free survival for advanced T-stage tumors.

TL;DR: Serial plasma EBV DNA provides a noninvasive method of monitoring response in NPC and resulted in excellent local tumor control.

TL;DR: The therapeutic ratio for T3-4 NPC tumors can be significantly improved with IMRT treatment technique due to improvement both in target coverage and the sparing of the critical normal organ.

TL;DR: There is potential room for enhancing the local control of nasopharyngeal carcinoma treatment further after modifying Ho's technique by using 3-D BEV customization of the treatment portals, and the dose coverage was unsatisfactory in the superior and inferior and the posterolateral regions.
