To the Editor A recent randomized clinical trial1 reported that after induction chemotherapy (IC), patients with stages III to IVB (American Joint Committee on Cancer Staging Manual, 7th Edition) nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) receiving radiation therapy alone had noninferior oncologic outcomes and fewer acute adverse events, compared with those receiving concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT). We have several comments about this impactful study.
