Laser has at present gained a foothold in the management of recurrent malignancies of the base of skull. Though this treatment modality is essentially palliative, it is gaining ground in many centres. In Singapore the use of laser is being increasingly used in the palliative management of recurrent Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma where other modes of treatment have gained, namely radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The incidence of new cases of NPC is in the region of 200 per year in Singapore hence there is increasing availability of such cases here.
