title: [Cancer of the nasopharynx: our experience with 34 cases].
abstract: Thirty four cases of patients with nasopharyngeal cancer, all white people, are reviewed. The more frequent clinical signs are, in order of frequency: nasal obstruction, which is presented in 65% of patients, transmission deafness, in 59%; adenomegalies in 44%; epistaxis in 26% and migraine in 21% of cases. The mean time evolution between the first clinical symptom and the treatment was four and a half months. The pathologic study was: epidermoid carcinoma in 31 cases (91.9% and non-Hodgkin lymphoma in 3 cases 8.9%). The 31 cases of epidermoid carcinoma were treated with radiotherapy and the 5 years survival was 38%. In 62% of cases, the tumor recurred locally, in lymph nodes or were distant metastasis.
