Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is an epithelial cancer that affected more than 130,000 patients worldwide in 2021, with the highest incidence in regions of Southeast Asia (particularly southern China) and North Africa. The nasopharynx is anatomically hidden and adjacent to important organs such as the brainstem, optic nerve, and optic chiasm. NPC is prone to early retropharyngeal and cervical lymph node metastasis and local skull base invasion. NPC is classified into three pathological subtypes based on the WHO criteria, and EBV infection is the most common cause of NPC. Due to its radiosensitive nature and deep-seated location, radiotherapy (RT) is the cornerstone of initial treatment, while surgery is especially used as a rescue method for regional lymph node failure.
This Special Issue welcomes original research articles, case series, clinical trials, and narrative and systematic reviews. We welcome submissions that address any relevant emerging topic related to NPC.
We look forward to receiving your submissions.
