摘要
We analysed 32 cases of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) treated with radiotherapy trying to define the role of CT scan during radiotherapy planning, as well as radiation treatment and the follow-up of the patients. CT scan was found to help 15 cases with low-parapharyngeal involvement and/or bone erosion. Persistent abnormal CT findings at 2 mo after the end of radiation treatment were related to a 30% local recurrence rate. This rate went up to 100% in case of skull-base destruction.
