摘      要：Objective To review the research carried out in Hong Kong on nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) over the past 10 years. Methods The literature published in Hong Kong over the past 10 years on nasopharyngeal carcinoma were reviewed in the light of other important international publications on the same subject. Results The research carried out in Hong Kong covers etiology, natural behavior, treatment and prognosis of NPC. These studies not only elucidated the different aspects of NPC, many of these new findings will also guide future directions of research. Conclusions Major efforts have been made to research into the various aspects of NPC with important findings which will translate into better treatment results. As this tumor is uncommon in other parts of the world, continued efforts to improve the prevention, early diagnosis, treatment and care of this tumor are required in China.
