Current research status on prediction and prevention of temporal lobe injury after intensity-modulated radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma
The advancement of modern radiotherapy technology and the optimization of comprehensive treat-ment strategies have led to significant improvements in the efficacy of nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC)treat-ment.With the increase in long-term survivors,the prevention of radiation-related late complications has become increasingly important.Radiation temporal lobe injury is a relatively rare complication after NPC radiation therapy,but it seriously affects patients'quality of life.Currently,treatment options are limited,so prevention re-mains the primary focus.This review mainly summarizes the changes in the temporal lobe injury during the era of intensity-modulated radiotherapy,dosimetric prediction studies,and comprehensive prevention strategies.
