About Nasopharyngeal Cancer

Nasopharyngeal cancer is a relatively common malignant tumor, China is the country with the largest number of nasopharyngeal cancer patients in the world, in which the main morbidity factor is related to EBV infection, and the survival rate of early and locally advanced nasopharyngeal cancer has been significantly improved. However, there are still about 20% patients with recurrence or distant metastasis, and the prognosis of these patients is very poor, with toxic reactions such as dysphagia, neck tissue damage, skin toxicity, acute hematologic toxicity, vocal cord dysfunction, and hypothyroidism occurring during treatment. Therefore, there is a need to find an innovative treatment that reduces toxic reactions, improves quality of life and has superior efficacy.
