Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1.Pathological confirmation of WHO Type I, II, or III nasopharyngeal carcinoma is not obtained; 2.AJCC clinical stage I-III, or pre-treatment clinical or radiological evidence of distant metastasis; 3.Pregnancy (confirmed by serum or urine ß-HCG test) or breastfeeding females; 4.Unwillingness to sign the informed consent form; 5.Prior radiotherapy to the head and neck region (including but not limited to one or more sessions of conventional photon radiotherapy, one or more sessions of proton or carbon ion therapy, radioactive seed implantation, or any other form of radiotherapy); 6.Presence of other diseases or factors that may potentially interfere with photon or carbon ion therapy; 7.Inability to comply with scheduled follow-up due to psychological, social, familial, or geographical reasons; 8.Concurrent participation in the treatment phase of another clinical research study involving investigational therapies; 9.Known allergy to cisplatin, docetaxel, or tislelizumab; known allergy to contrast agents used in imaging studies related to this research; 10.Presence of severe uncontrolled infection or medical illness; 11.Dysfunction of major organs (e.g., decompensated heart, lung, kidney, or liver failure) rendering the patient unable to tolerate chemotherapy; 12.History of immunodeficiency, including HIV positivity, other acquired or congenital immunodeficiency diseases, or history of organ transplantation or allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. 13.History of other malignant tumors prior to enrollment (except for basal cell carcinoma of the skin); 14.History of drug abuse or alcohol dependence; 15.Any other condition deemed by the investigator as potentially leading to forced discontinuation from the study, such as other severe diseases (including mental illness) requiring concomitant treatment, severely abnormal laboratory values, or familial/social factors that may compromise subject safety or data integrity.
