Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a rare type of head and neck cancer, with a higher incidence reported only in Southeast Asia and Northern Africa. Owing to the rarity of NPC occurrence, no internationally accepted consensus or guideline for its diagnosis and treatment is available. Based on the current evidences and practices, the Chinese experts on multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment of NPC were designated to develop a national consensus for the treatment strategy of NPC. In this consensus, we report the development for improving the treatment efficacy and quality of life of NPC patients in China. The consensus also describes and recommends the role of multidisciplinary management approach in the management of NPC. A multidisciplinary team should include experts from different domains who can cater to the individualized needs of patients with NPC in a much more efficient manner. In addition, the team may also play a key role in developing guiding principles for future research, contributing to the improvement in the management of NPC.
鼻咽癌（NPC）是一种罕见的头颈部癌症，仅在东南亚和北非地区有较高的发病率报告。由于鼻咽癌发病罕见，目前尚无国际公认的诊断和治疗共识或指南。基于当前的证据和实践，中国鼻咽癌多学科诊断与治疗专家被指定制定一项关于鼻咽癌治疗策略的全国性共识。在本共识中，我们报告了为提高中国鼻咽癌患者的治疗效果和生活质量所做的进展。该共识还描述并推荐了多学科管理方法在鼻咽癌管理中的作用。一个多学科团队应包括来自不同领域的专家，他们能够以更高效的方式满足鼻咽癌患者的个性化需求。此外，该团队在制定未来研究的指导原则方面也可能发挥关键作用，有助于改善鼻咽癌的管理。
