Treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma in late stage

summary

In recent days, my roommate seems to have caught a cold. He always has a runny nose. He has sore throat when eating, and it's hard to swallow. Sometimes he has tinnitus and headache. So I went to the hospital to know that he is suffering from nasopharyngeal carcinoma. In order to prevent this situation, I'd like to introduce some methods for treating nasopharyngeal carcinoma in the late stage.

Treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma in late stage

Treatment 1: radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma can be divided into radical radiotherapy and palliative radiotherapy. Radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma can kill the tumor cells, but the normal tissues or organs are inevitably exposed to radiation.

Treatment 2: the pathological type is well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma or adenocarcinoma and other cancer that is not sensitive to radiation. The lesions are limited in the parietal or anterior wall. If there is no surgical contraindication in the whole body, the resection of the primary lesion can be considered.

Treatment 3: more than 95% of nasopharyngeal carcinoma belongs to poorly differentiated and undifferentiated cancer type, with high degree of malignancy, fast growth, and prone to lymph node or blood channel metastasis. 75% of NPC patients were in stage III and IV when they were diagnosed.

matters needing attention

Special reminder: nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients after regular treatment are generally poor physique, so to make the tired body quickly recover, we must ensure adequate rest. According to their own actual situation, rest combined with work and rest, can carry out appropriate sports activities, increase the patient's appetite, restore body function.
