Brief Summary
This study investigates whether administering reduced dose is non-inferior to standard dose radiotherapy in terms of 3-year locoregional relapse-free survival (LRRFS) rate for stage I nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients who are sensitive to radiotherapy.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:

- ECOG (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group) score: 0-1.
- Women in their reproductive years should ensure that they use contraception during the study period.
- Hemoglobin (HGB) ≥90 g/L, white blood cell (WBC) ≥4×109 /L, platelet (PLT) ≥100×109 /L.
- Liver function: Alanine transaminase(ALT), Aspartate aminotransferase(AST)\< 1.5 times the upper limit of normal value (ULN), total bilirubin \<1.5×ULN.
- Renal function: serum creatinine \<1.5×ULN or creatinine clearance rate≥60mL/min.
- Patients must sign informed consent and be willing and able to comply with the requirements of visits, treatment, laboratory tests and other research requirements stipulated in the research schedule.
You may not qualify if:
- Histologically confirmed keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma (WHO I).
- Patients with PR/SD/PD according to RECIST and/or EBV DNA detectable after received 50.88Gy radiation.
- Receiving radiotherapy or chemotherapy or targeted therapy previously.
- Women of child-bearing potential who are pregnant or breastfeeding because of the potentially dangerous effects of the preparative chemotherapy on the fetus or infant.
- Suffered from other malignant tumors (except the cure of basal cell carcinoma or uterine cervical carcinoma in situ) previously.
- Patients with significantly lower heart, liver, lung, kidney and bone marrow function.
- Severe, uncontrolled medical conditions and infections.
- At the same time using other test drugs or in other clinical trials.
- Refusal or inability to sign informed consent to participate in the trial.
- Other treatment contraindications.
- Emotional disturbance or mental illness, no civil capacity or limited capacity for civil conduct.
