%X Background: At present, there is a paucity of data in the literature pertaining to the impact of radiotherapy (RT) on the success of tracheal intubation in patients with nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC). The aim of this study is to investigate the frequency of difficult tracheal intubation in patients with NPC following RT. Methods: Patients with NPC who underwent RT followed by surgery between 2012 and April 2024 at the University Hospital Heidelberg were retrospectively analyzed. Results: Twenty-three patients, predominantly males (73.9
