Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

1\. To see the effect if a combination of induction chemotherapy followed by chemoradiotherapy works in treating children with advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This phase II trial is studying how well radiation therapy and chemotherapy work in treating young patients with newly diagnosed nasopharyngeal cancer. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin and fluorouracil and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.
