Nasopharyngeal cancer

Research and clinical trials for nasopharyngeal cancer

All cancer treatments have to be fully researched before they can be used for everyone. This is so we know that they work, they are better than the treatments already available and they are safe.

There may currently be clinical trials for nasopharyngeal cancer taking place in the UK. Each trial has certain entry conditions for who can take part. You should speak to your doctor if you are interested in a trial and they can say if it is suitable for you. It is important that you fully understand how the trial works before you take part.
