This document summarizes salvage radiotherapy approaches for locally recurrent nasopharyngeal cancer. It reviews outcomes from 2D/3D radiotherapy era showing unsatisfactory results. IMRT era studies showed improved local control and survival, especially for early T stages. Proton therapy studies demonstrated favorable dosimetry with lower normal tissue doses and less toxicity compared to photon therapies. Overall, IMRT remains the standard approach but particle therapies like proton therapy may further improve therapeutic ratio for recurrent nasopharyngeal cancer.
