However, ear, nose, and throat specialists should be able to manage NPC; therefore, the aim is to provide the attendee a great opportunity to be familiar with some of the current knowledge of the management of NPC, including using Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) as a biomarker to diagnose and monitor NPC, evolution of treatment guidelines of NPC, and salvage nasopharyngectomy for local recurrence in this miniseminar. Educational Objectives: (1) Use EBV as a biomarker to diagnose and monitor patients with NPC. (2) Recognize the evolution and treatment guideline of NPC.
