Aims: In nasopharyngeal cancer, radiotherapy is known as the treatment of choice by utilizing ionized radiation to eradicate all cancer cells in nasopharynx and their metastases lymph nodes. This study aimed determine correlation between knowledge attitude on oral hygiene management behavior among patients undergoing therapy Jakarta. Methods: A descriptive correlative with a cross-sectional. Us...

Radiotherapy is the treatment of cancer by using electromagnetic and particle radiation. Nasopharyngeal Cancer (NPC) one difficult case to be treated in radiotherapy because its anatomical location. Precision radiation dose part Quality Assurance Program as key factor this treatment. Thus, it very important ensure that output Linear Accelerator (LINAC) matched with result Treatment Planning Sys...

Over the last decade, we have made significant progress in treating nasopharyngeal cancer. We have achieved a better tumor control rate with conformal radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Surgical salvage treatment has also contributed to helping patients with localized disease in the neck or in the nasopharynx.

Abstract Radiotherapy is the main treatment method for nasopharynx cancer. Delineation of Gross Target Volume (GTV) from medical images a prerequisite radiotherapy. As manual delineation time-consuming and laborious, automatic segmentation GTV has potential to improve efficiency this process. This work aims automatically segment cancer Computed Tomography (CT) images. However, it challenged by ...

Radiotherapy dose calculation requires accurate Computed Tomography (CT) imaging while tissue delineation may necessitate the use of contrast agents (CA). Acquiring these two sets is a common practice in radiotherapy. This study aims to evaluate effect CA on calculations. Two hundred and twenty-six volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) patients that had planning CT with (CCT) non-contrast (NC...

Background: The role of locoregional radiotherapy (LRT) the nasopharynx and neck in patients with metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (M-NPC) remains unclear. present meta-analysis aimed to compare efficacy chemotherapy (CT) plus LRT CT alone M-NPC patients.

The objective of this study is to report the initial results of a prospective trial assessing instrumental deglutition function in nasopharynx and oropharynx cancers after radio or chemoradiotherapy using intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). IMRT was delivered aiming to spare the swallowing organ at risk (SWOARs) for Stage II-IV naso- and oropharynx cancer. Objective instrumental assessment...

introduction: nasopharyngeal carcinoma (npc) is a common cancer in the north-east region of india. though the role of environmental contributors of npc in the north-eastern part of india is firmly established, ebv as an etiological agent in the region remains unexplored. material and methods: fifty-one patients, who presented at the department of ent, neigrihms and were confirmed as npc upon hi...

Aim of the study is evaluation of radiotherapy treatment in cancer of oropharynx and nasopharynx. Retrospective analysis was based on 283 patients in III and IV clinical stage of disease without distant metastases who were treated between 1989-2001. 201 patients were treated radiotherapy alone and 82 by combined modality: radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Induction chemotherapy and radiotherapy wa...
