Prognostic variables for temporal lobe injury after intensity modulated‐radiotherapy of nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Abstract To determine predictive factors for temporal lobe injury (TLI) in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patient (NPC) treated with intensity‐modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). A total of 695 NPC cases treated with IMRT were retrospectively analyzed. TLI was diagnosed on MRI images. Volume‐dose histogra...
