Radiotherapy dose–volume parameters predict facial lymphedema after concurrent chemoradiation for nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Abstract Background To investigate risk factors for developing radiation-associated facial lymphedema (FL) in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients after concurrent chemoradiation (CCRT). Methods Clinical data from 87 patients who underwent definitive CCRT for NPC in 2010–2018 was retrospectively...
