Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is distinct from other cancers of the head and neck in biology, epidemiology, histology, natural history, and response to treatment. Radiotherapy (RT) is the cornerstone of locoregional treatment of non-disseminated disease and the association of chemotherapy improves the rates of survival. In the case of metastatic disease stages, treatment requires platinum/gemcitabine-based chemotherapy and patients may achieve a long survival time.
鼻咽癌(NPC)在生物学、流行病学、组织学、自然史和对治疗的反应方面与头颈部的其他癌症不同。放射治疗(RT)是局部区域治疗非播散性疾病的基石,联合化疗可提高生存率。对于转移性疾病分期,治疗需要基于铂类/吉西他滨的化疗,患者可能实现长期生存。
