Abstract：After treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma( NPC) , there are still residual and recurrence.Stud-ies have shown that, the effective treatments of residual and recurrence are only radiotherapy and surgery.But sec-ondly radiotherapy has poor results, and more sequelaes.Because of unclear operative field, large trauma, more blood loss and postoperative scar formation, the majority of patients feel difficult to accept conventional surgery.With the extensive application of the nasal endoscopic surgery, nasal endoscopic surgery shows its advantage in the treat-ment of NPC residual or recurrence.This paper compares the survival and quality of life between endoscopic surgery and secondly radiotherapy in patients and expounds the feasibility of applying the nasal endoscopic surgery in NPC re-sidual or recurrence.
