Abstract Background The aim of this treatment planning study was to investigate the potential advantages of intensity-modulated IM proton therapy IMPT compared with IM photon therapy IMRT in nasopharyngeal carcinoma NPC . Methods Eight NPC patients were chosen. The dose prescriptions in cobalt Gray equivalent GyE for gross tumor volumes of the primary tumor GTV-T
