About this trial
This observational study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) alone in patients with stage IB nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) without high-risk features. The primary objective is to determine the therapeutic effectiveness of this approach
