Nasopharyngeal Cancer

The nasopharynx is a box-like chamber in the upper part of the throat (pharynx) that lies behind the nose. It lies just above the soft part of the roof of the mouth (soft palate) and just in back of the entrance into the nasal passages. If you (or a loved one) are worried about developing nasopharyngeal cancer, have just been diagnosed, are going through treatment, or are trying to stay well after treatment, the Detailed Guide can help you find the answers you need.
