Summary

This study looks at whether using only targeted radiation (IMRT) can effectively control stage IB nasopharyngeal cancer in patients without high-risk features. About 169 adults aged 18-70 with newly diagnosed, early-stage disease will be followed to see how many remain cancer-free. The goal is to see if avoiding chemotherapy can reduce side effects while still keeping the cancer under control.
