Severe vomiting after surgery for nasopharyngeal carcinoma

summary

Many NPC patients and their families should understand that radiotherapy is the first choice for NPC patients, but for patients with poorly differentiated NPC (with or without distant metastasis), it can be combined with chemotherapy to achieve the purpose of radiotherapy efficiency and reduce the chance of distant metastasis. Since nasopharyngeal carcinoma can be treated with chemotherapy, how long it takes for nasopharyngeal carcinoma to be treated with chemotherapy naturally becomes the concern of many patients. Here I would like to share with you the severe vomiting after nasopharyngeal carcinoma surgery.

Severe vomiting after surgery for nasopharyngeal carcinoma

First, the postoperative sequelae of nasopharyngeal carcinoma mainly include the following manifestations: blood and epistaxis in the nasal discharge, tinnitus, hearing loss, etc. tumors located in the anterior wall of the top of the nasopharynx are more likely to cause nasal congestion, and headache is a common symptom. Yes, he was rescued. In Qingdao, there have also been cases of death caused by the treatment of psoriasis with plum blossom needle plus external application of mercury containing folk prescription, which has to arouse the deep thinking of psoriasis patients. 　　

Second, for the residual lymph nodes in the neck after radiotherapy, surgical resection is feasible. Considering the physical condition of patients with advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma, the comprehensive treatment of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine is mainly adopted. The selection of treatment methods not only considers the removal of local cancer, but also pays more attention to systemic treatment, so as to improve the quality of life of patients and prolong the survival period.

Third: nasopharyngeal carcinoma within a few days of the start of radiotherapy, you may find swelling of the head and face. After two or three weeks of treatment, your mouth and throat will become inflamed and ulcerated, making it difficult for you to swallow food.

matters needing attention

At present, immunoenzymatic method is widely used to detect IgA / VCA and IgA / EA antibody titers of Epstein Barr virus. The former has higher sensitivity and lower accuracy, while the latter is just the opposite. Therefore, the detection of both antibodies should be carried out simultaneously in patients with suspected nasopharyngeal carcinoma, which is helpful for early diagnosis. For patients with IgA / VCA titer ≥ 1:40 and / or IgA / EA titer ≥ 1:5, exfoliated cells or biopsies should be taken from the site of NPC even if there is no abnormality in the nasopharynx. If the diagnosis is not confirmed at the moment, regular follow-up should be carried out, and multiple biopsy should be performed if necessary.
