M0); (T3, N2, M0). T1: Tumor confined to the nasopharynx, or tumor extending to oropharynx
and/or nasal cavity without parapharyngeal involvement. T0: No tumor identified, but
EBV-positive cervical node(s) involvement is present. T2: Tumor with extension to
parapharyngeal space, and/or adjacent soft tissue involvement (medial pterygoid, lateral
pterygoid, prevertebral muscles). T3: Tumor infiltrating bony structures at skull
base, cervical vertebrae, pterygoid structures, and/or paranasal sinuses. N0: No regional
lymph node metastasis. N1: Tumor with unilateral metastasis in cervical lymph node(s),
and/or unilateral or bilateral metastasis in retropharyngeal lymph node(s), 6 cm or
smaller in greatest dimension, above the caudal border of cricoid cartilage. N2: Tumor
