[Radiotherapy results of nasopharyngeal carcinomas (41 patients)]

5-year cure rates after radiotherapy of nasopharingeal carcinomas in the own patients are reported. The 5-year cure rate in squamous cell carcinoma is about 30% and in lymphoepithelial carcinoma Schmincke-Regaud about 50%. These results are comparable to those which are published in the recent literature. The base of the skull should be included in the high-dose volume even in T1 and T2 cases.
