Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a cancer that develops in the upper part of the throat behind the nose. It can grow without causing obvious symptoms in its early stages. An MRI may show changes in this region consistent with a mass. Finding nasopharyngeal carcinoma early may significantly improve treatment outcomes. MRI provides superior soft tissue detail for nasopharyngeal tumours and is the preferred modality for local staging and assessment of skull base involvement.
