Abstract:
Early diagnosis,early treatment and the correct therapeutic approch are the keys for metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC) treatment.Currently,PET-CT is the best modality for distant metastasis staging of NPC.Cispalatin-based chemotherapy is the standard treatment method of metastatic NPC.Molecular targeted therapy is possible to further increase curative effect.When the lesions are limited,local palliative treatment may improve prognosis if patient's illness is controled by chemotherapy.
