[Retrospective study of 200 cases of nasopharyngeal carcinoma].
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is frequently diagnosed in advanced stages due to the anatomic characteristics of its site of origin and of the inspecificity of many of its clinical manifestations. However, cure rates are directly related with the early diagnosis. In this study of 200 patients affected by this tumor we analyse the different clinical manifestations, their chronology and their value as early indicators of nasopharyngeal tumour.
