Effect of Bevacizumab on Radiation-induced Brain Necrosis in Patients With Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
Radiation-induced brain necrosis is a severe complication of radiotherapy in patients with
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Current neuroprotective therapies show limited benefit in
ameliorating this complication of radiotherapy. This study is a randomized, single blind
clinical study. The primary aim of this study is to determine whether bevacizumab can
alleviate radiation-induced brain necrosis in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and to
compare the treating effect between bevacizumab and steroid.
