  NPC is one of the most confusing, commonly misdiagnosed, and poorly understood diseases. NPC has a remarkable racial and geographical distribution [ 1, 2 ]. [npplweb.com]

  Nasopharyngeal cancer shouldn't be confused with other types of cancer that also affect the throat, such as laryngeal cancer and oesophageal cancer. [nhs.uk]

  But the condition can quickly progress to shock, which is marked by falling blood pressure and body temperature, confusion, clotting abnormalities and bleeding into the skin. Blood poisoning is a medical emergency and can be fatal if left untreated. [livingnaturally.com]

If you have nasopharyngeal cancer, you may have questions about your prognosis. A prognosis is the doctor’s best estimate of how cancer will affect someone and how it will respond to treatment. Prognosis and survival depend on many factors. [cancer.ca]

In order to support cancer therapy the dental provider must be aware of the diagnosis, prognosis and approach to treatment. [scholars.northwestern.edu]

As such, PD-1 and PD-L1 expression might correlate with poor prognosis in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. [onclive.com]

Retropharyngeal lymph nodes [ edit ] It is not clear whether these are staged as N0 or N1, with differences among institutions Prognosis for RLN+ N0 appears comparable to N1 RLNs atrophy with age, and are usually obliterated by adulthood. [en.wikibooks.org]
