Nasopharynx is present in the upper section of the throat, at the back of the nose, and nasal cavity. When the cells of the nasopharynx undergo mutation, they begin to divide uncontrollably, resulting in nasopharyngeal cancer. It is a subtype of head and neck cancer. Several types of nasopharyngeal cancer include keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma, non-keratinizing differentiated carcinoma, non-keratinizing undifferentiated carcinoma, and basaloid squamous cell carcinoma.
