Summary

This study tests whether using smaller radiation targets after chemotherapy can control advanced nasopharyngeal cancer while reducing side effects. About 445 patients with stage III to IVa disease will receive standard chemotherapy followed by either standard or reduced radiation. The goal is to see if the smaller area is as good at preventing cancer return and improves quality of life.
