ABSTRACT
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a cancer arising from the nasopharynx epithelium, and is one of the most frequent head and neck malignancies in adolescents. Treatment strategies for juvenile NPC follow the guidelines established for adult NPC. However, juvenile NPC has its distinct clinical characteristics. For juvenile patients in the developmental stage, the late toxicity of treatment should not be ignored. Therefore, it is important to seek appropriate treatment strategies for juvenile NPC. This review gives an overview of the epidemiology, clinical characteristics and current treatment of juvenile NPC, along with the promising strategies to reduce the intensity of treatment in adolescents. This review aims to provide new insight for improving the treatment of this disease.
