摘要: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is rare in most countries (incidence rate of less than 1 per 100,000) but a major health problem some regions as high 5.8 100,000 with mortality 2.6 reported 1981 from Taiwan). A search for etiologic factors and development specific methods eradication this cancer remain the focus investigation by many workers field subject Symposium. Equally necessary, however, are continued efforts to identify early cases through serologic cytologic screening, more effective therapeutic modalities all stages illness. The current survival 30–60% various world phase clinical which warrants further improvement.
