The treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma includes radiotherapy, surgical treatment, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, etc. Radiotherapy is considered the first choice for the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The vast majority of nasopharyngeal carcinomas are poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinomas, which are more sensitive to radiotherapy. Therapeutic radiotherapy can be used for early and mid-stage cases, and palliative radiotherapy can be appropriately combined with advanced cases. Chemotherapy has a certain short-term effect on nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy are often used for patients in the middle and late stages, such as new adjuvant chemotherapy, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and chemotherapy is mainly used for advanced cases with distant metastasis.

Commonly used chemotherapy regimens include PF and CF5-FUDDP, with an effective rate of about 90%. Others include PFB, PMB, PFA, CBF, CAB and waiting regimens. Surgical treatment is only suitable for cases with insensitive high differentiation and residual or recurrent tumors after radiotherapy.
