Pay attention to the complications of nasopharyngeal carcinoma

summary

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a common malignant tumor in clinic. With the acceleration of the pace of life, people's life pressure is also increasing, diet and its environment is also more and more bad. There are more and more people suffering from nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Most of them are middle-aged and old people, and young people are rare. Clinically, the early symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma are very obvious. It can be divided into three categories. Now let's learn about the risk of complications of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Pay attention to the complications of nasopharyngeal carcinoma

First, radiotherapy is the main treatment for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Radiotherapy is more effective, of course, according to the different stages to determine whether to add concurrent chemotherapy. The main radiotherapy techniques are IMRT, 3D-CRT, CT-Sim, and conventional radiotherapy. Now the application of IMRT and 3D-CRT precise radiotherapy has improved the 5-year disease-free survival rate from 30% of conventional radiotherapy to 70%. Local recurrence only accounted for about 6%. It's always a 25% distant metastasis problem.

Second, there is no good way to cure cancer. It is very troublesome for patients with such a situation, because the malignant degree of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is very high, and it is easy to relapse. At present, patients in the line of chemotherapy damage to the body is very heavy, patients in this situation may be worse and worse, because the patient's mentality is not good, for survival with tumor is very few.

Third, it is difficult to detect cancer patients in the early stage. At present, patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma are generally found in the third stage. Now the combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy is still effective. A lot of people go out and survive for more than a decade. The sequelae after radiotherapy must pay attention to rehabilitation, otherwise the possibility of recurrence will be greater. For example, dry mouth and limited mouth opening can be alleviated by oral alcohol.

matters needing attention

Because after suffering from cancer, the patient's physical condition will go from bad to worse. At this time, it is particularly important to enhance the resistance. The diet of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma must be rich in protein, vitamins, amino acids and other nutrients. They should choose more heat clearing and detoxification, cold purging food, and phlegm resolving food, such as kelp, Porphyra, Gracilaria lemaneiformis, jellyfish and so on. Quit smoking, alcohol, avoid spicy food and old food, such as pepper, pepper, fennel, leek, onion, ginger, mustard, mutton, dog, venison, scaleless fish, diet fish, shrimp and crab, etc.
