The patient underwent a contrast-enhanced nasopharyngeal MSCT scan with the result: T2N0M0. The histopathology results: Non-Keratinizing Squamous Cell Carcinoma. The patient was given 70 gy of Chemoradiation (CRT) followed by adjuvant chemotherapy with Cisplatin + 5 Fu.
Conclusion:
There was no visible mass on the nasopharynx after using this combination therapy
