Abstract:

Radiotherapy is currently the main treatment modality for nasopharyngeal carcinoma; however, post-radiotherapy, there is considerable risk of development of radiation-induced malignant tumors in the patients. In this paper, we have reviewed the diagnosis, pathogenesis, age and incubation period, pathological types, predilection sites, treatment, and prognosis of radiation-induced tumors.

Key words: Nasopharyngeal neoplasms, Radiotherapy, Complications, Induced malignant carcinoma
