This book covers all the necessary aspects of our knowledge on nasopharyngeal carcinoma, from anatomy, histopathology, epidemiology, experimental studies, clinical manifestations, clinical and laboratory diagnostic methods to the latest imaging techniques. It also contains all of the information necessary for the clinician to reach the proper staging of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and to treat the tumour efficiently. In addition, it offers guidance on screening family members in order to better control very early tumours or even precancerous conditions.

This second and fully revised edition updates comprehensively the knowledge on nasopharyngeal carcinoma and provides readily available access to the experience accumulated in an endemic region covering many aspects of this disease. The Editors also provide an up-to-date and comprehensive reference of interest to all who interact with nasopharyngeal carcinoma, whether it be in a clinical, laboratory or research setting.

The authors of various chapters are specialists in their respective fields, and this new edition is again carefully edited by Professor Andrew van Hasselt and Professor Alan Gibb.
