2024 and 31 May 2025.the results were analysed using R software. Qualitative statements were evaluated using a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 'Strongly Disagree' to 'Strongly Agree' Univariate analysis (Fisher's test and chi-squared test) was employed to examine the influence of age, practice structure, and practice duration on interpretation. Results: A total of 70 responses were obtained, with 9% from residents, 10% from chief assistants/specialist assistants and 81% from senior radiation oncologists. Of these participants, 61% had a dedicated head and neck radiation oncology activity for more than five years. Regarding routine practice : over 80% reported proficiency in nasofibroscopy for initial diagnosis (66%), follow-up (83%), and recurrence (78%) purposes. Currently, 76% of respondents reported the possibility to perform the procedure easily at their institution.Concerning training : almost a quarter of the responding RO had never witnessed this procedure being performed during their residency and 67% had never received specific courses, learning solely through mentoring. The overwhelming majority (91%) supported the value of dedicated training, recommending it for radiation oncologists performing head and neck radiation oncology.Interpretation proved more challenging in the postoperative setting (37%) than in the post-radiation setting (80%). There were no significant differences in interpretation based on institution, age, or length of practice, at any moment (initial diagnosis, follow-up, relapse, radiation complication or surgical complication).. Conclusion: The use of nasofibroscopy has been integrated into routine practice in head and neck radiotherapy. Initial training seems to consist mainly of mentoring without any theoretical basis. The interpretation of postoperative findings appears to present a difficulty. The development of continuing training shoud include the interpreatation of these specifc aspects. The results of this survey must be considered with the risk of selection and desirability bias. Keywords: head and neck cancer, nasofibroscopy, education

It requires prior training and an organised system within the institution. Historically performed by head and neck surgeons, it has gradually become used by radiation oncologists (ROs). This study examined the current practices, perspectives and initial teaching of ROs in order to develop adapted training. Material/Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among ROs. The study included questions about their current practices, training and difficulties encountered when performing or interpreting nasofibroscopy.The Head and Neck Radiation Oncology Group (GORTEC) and the French Society of Radiation Oncology (SFRO) distributed the questionnaires via their mailing lists.Responses were collected between 1 December
