Abstract

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is the most frequent cancer that begins in the nasopharynx and spreads to the head and neck in adults. In individuals with nasopharyngeal cancer, the outcome after medical intervention can be relatively excellent if they receive adequate and effective treatment. NPC, on the other hand, is extremely rare in childhood, and its prevalence rises with patient age. In general, NPC has a more aggressive character, with frequent distant metastases during the early stages of the disease in childhood.
