ABSTRACT |
A simple intracavitary irradiation of carcinoma of the nasopharynx has been found useful as a supplementary radiation boost to the primary site, and as a method of re-rradiation for recurrence in the nasopharynx. Hopefully, local tumor control can be enhanced by employing this technique. |
