Abstract
Abstract Purpose Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a malignant epithelial tumor originating in the nasopharynx and is particularly prevalent in southern China. Unfortunately, international guidelines, such as NCCN or ESMO, fail to adequately coincide with clinical practice in China, making it difficult to achieve precision personalized therapy in China. The aim of this guideline is to better promote a “Multidisciplinary Team to Holistic Integrative Medicine" (MDT to HIM) system for the prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of NPC. Methods The China Anti-Cancer Association (CACA) invited domestic multi-disciplinary experts, involving radiologists, oncologists, surgeons, pathologists, herbalists, physiatrists, and psychologists, to write, discuss, and revise the guidelines. Based on the integration of research evidence, clinical experience, and patient needs, the domestic experts have iteratively developed these guidelines to provide proper and feasible management of NPC. Results and conclusion The CACA Guidelines for Holistic Integrative Management of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma are more suitable for China's clinical practice, highlight Chinese characteristics, and have important clinical significance.
