Endoscopic nasopharyngectomy is a form of endoscopic surgery to treat nasopharyngeal carcinoma.[1] This type of cancer is commonly treated with radiation therapy and chemotherapy, but endoscopic operation offers an alternative treatment especially when the radiation therapy fails.[2]
In the early stages oncology, endoscopic surgeries were considered to be radical treatment[3] despite the surgery being minimally invasive.[4] The surgery is effective the treatment of recently diagnosed localized nasopharyngeal cancer for stage I patients.
Patient selection is extremely important in order to avoid surgical complications. Patients diagnosed with rT1 or rT2 tumors, and some rT3 tumors may be candidates for the surgery.[5]
