Arch Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg. 2001 Jul;127(7):766-9.

Abstract

Over the last decade, we have made significant progress in treating nasopharyngeal cancer. We have achieved a better tumor control rate with conformal radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Surgical salvage treatment has also contributed to helping patients with localized disease in the neck or in the nasopharynx.
