Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: The purpose of this study is to present clinical practice guidelines for nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC).
Methods: Data related to western and oriental medical treatment of NPC were collected using various search engines such as Google Scholar, KIOM OASIS, PUBMED, and the library of Woosuk University.
Results: In recent studies, applying combined oriental and western medicine has been shown to improve survival, quality of life, and immune function and to decrease side effects with respect to NPC. However, there still is no objective and systematic clinical guideline for NPC, so we have proposed one. This study will be meaningful in establishing clinical practice guidelines of Korean medicine for NPC.
Conclusion: Further studies related to Korean medicine are needed to develop more advanced clinical practice NPC guidelines.
