Summary

This study tests whether giving radiation to a smaller area of the neck is as good as the standard larger area for treating nasopharyngeal cancer that hasn't spread. About 474 adults with newly diagnosed cancer will be randomly assigned to one of two radiation plans. The goal is to see if the smaller approach can reduce side effects without increasing the chance of the cancer coming back.
