Proton Therapy for Nasopharyngeal Cancer: A Matched Case-control Study of Intensity-Modulated Proton Therapy and Intensity-Modulated Photon Therapy

There is a paucity of published data on the outcomes of nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) treated with proton therapy (PT). Here we report the dosimetry parameters, treatment-related toxicities and clinical outcomes of NPC treated with intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) and in matched NPC cases treated with intensity modulated photon therapy (IMRT) from the same single institution.
