Summary:The incidence of nasopharyngeal cancer in the world is less than 1/105, but it can be as high as 50/105 in the high-incidence areas in China. The high-incidence areas are mainly concentrated in the south of China, especially in Guangdong. For a long time, chemotherapy is the main treatment on advanced nasopharyngeal cancer.
