Fatigue following radiation therapy in nasopharyngeal cancer survivors: A dosimetric analysis incorporating patient report and observer rating.

CONCLUSION: A dose-fatigue relationship was identified for the pituitary gland, both patient-reported and observer ratings. We recommend limiting the Dmax of PG to <54 Gy and V52 Gy to <16%, particularly in young NPC patients, during plan optimization when achievable.
