Radiotherapy is one of the most comment and useful treatment for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), but the radioresistance remains a major obstacle. Osthole, a natural coumarin derivative, has been shown to have anti-tumor and anti-inflammatory activity. However, the relationship between osthole and NPC treatment, especially for radiotherapy, is still elusive.
