Summary

This study is for people whose nasopharyngeal cancer has come back after initial treatment and cannot be removed by surgery. Participants first receive a combination of chemotherapy and an immunotherapy drug (PD-1 inhibitor). Those whose tumors shrink or disappear are then randomly assigned to receive either immediate re-irradiation or to wait and only get radiation if needed later. The goal is to see if adding radiation right away improves overall survival and delays cancer progression.
