Abstract:

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a distinct type of head and neck cancer that is common in South China, especially Guangdong and Guangxi. Because of the anatomical limitations of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and its sensitivity to radiotherapy, radiotherapy is the main treatment, although radiotherapy has certain limitations. Therefore, treatment for nasopharyngeal carcinoma includes radiotherapy combined with surgical treatment, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and other comprehensive treatments.

Key words: Nasopharyngeal neoplasms, Surgical procedures, operative, Radiotherapy, Chemotherapy, Targeted therapy
