Nasopharyngeal cancer treated in Singapore.
With effect from July 1987 CT-scans of the nasopharynx became routinely available in the staging of nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) in our department. Eighty-four evaluable cases during these first six months were studied and the results at a median follow-up period of 34 months revealed that 74% were alive at 2 years. The local relapse rate were 4% for T1; 10% for T2 and 35% for T3 tumours.
