Abstract:
The retrospective study was carried out on 142 nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients between 20 and 45 years old. Results prognosis of early stage was better. Middle-aged patients have better. It’s necessary to propagandize early clinical symptoms of disease so more patients received early treatment. The later stages the worse prognosis because there is high risk of metastasis and recurrence. Radio-chemotherapy will help to prevent metastasis and recurrence.
