The Behavior of Nasopharynx Malignancies: a Retrospective Study in a Ten-Year Sample.

Our research confirmed that nasopharyngeal tumors are rare, with the most common type being nasopharyngeal carcinoma. In our patient group, 76.9% of cases involved nasopharyngeal cancer, which was five times more common in men than in women, and typically occurred in individuals over the age of 50. Lymphomas and other tumors accounted for less than a quarter of the cases. The overall five-year survival rate for nasopharyngeal malignancies in our group was 42.3%. We also observed an interesting gender perspective: 75% of women (6 women) survived for five years, whereas 72.2% of men died within five years of diagnosis.
