title: Pregnancy outcome following radiotherapy for naso-pharyngeal carcinoma.
abstract: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma complicating pregnancy is uncommon, and its treatment with irradiation is problematical, as the irradiation risks in pregnancy have not been well defined. In this paper, we described a pregnant patient with nasopharyngeal carcinoma who received irradiation treatment during the pregnancy. The management and the risk of irradiation are discussed.
