[Comment] Collaborative action will generate better outcomes

The most meaningful collaborative action in nasopharyngeal cancer occurred two decades ago, with the development of a single staging system for the disease.1 Incorporation of the Ho staging system into the tumour –node–metastasis–American Joint Committee on Cancer (TNM–AJCC) staging system acknowledged the experience of the Asian centres where nasopharyngeal cancer is endemic. This new system allowed, for the first time, ease of direct comparison and collaboration between Asian and non-Asian centres in the management of nasopharyngeal cancer.
