The study is a comparative randomized study between two groups of patients, the aim of which is to compare 3D conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT) and intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) as newer modalities in treating nasopharyngeal carcinomas; evaluating and comparing both techniques as regard their efficacy on tumor response, local control and treatment related toxicity as a dosimetric comparison between both techniques
