: Sixty-one study subjects have been previously reported in our prior publication, title: Irradiation-related longitudinal white matter atrophy underlies cognitive impairment in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma, which is published in Brain Imaging and Behavior 15, 2426–2435 (2021). In our previous study, we tried to longitudinally investigate alterations in cerebral WM volume as a function of irradiation dose and time after standard radiotherapy in NPC patients. Based on our previous study, we further attempted to elucidate the divergent change trajectories of temporal WM volume in NPC patients with different outcomes (RN or no RN), and to determine whether WM volume alterations at early stage could predict RN occurrence at late-delay stage.
