Treatment results of 59 young patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma

: We suggest that RT combined with multiagent chemotherapy is effective in achieving satisfactory DFS and comparable OS in young patients with NPC. Results of both previous series and ours are evoking the necessity of early administration of efficient chemotherapeutic agents in addition to radiotherapy, but indistinct is the precise regimen and the intensity along the radiotherapy. All efforts towards decreasing late side effects of treatment should be encouraged in this long life expected group.
