Three courses of cisplatin-containing NACT, followed by RT lead to high survival and locoregional control rate in advanced stage NPC in children. Patients with distant metastasis should also be treated with curative intent by systemic chemotherapy and locoregional radiotherapy. Patients should be followed closely for recurrences and long-term morbidities including second malignancies, which may be treated with curative surgeries if diagnosed early.
