ABSTRACT Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a rare malignancy that poses significant treatment challenges, particularly in the context of curative intent. This updated guideline consolidates contemporary evidence and clinical practices tailored to the Indian healthcare landscape. It emphasizes a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis and treatment, incorporating advances in chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and supportive care. Key recommendations include the use of induction chemotherapy for locoregionally advanced cases, detailed risk stratification, and specific management strategies for recurrent and metastatic disease, all aimed at improving patient outcomes.
