Side effects of stent placement in nasopharyngeal carcinoma

summary

I found that I had some early symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. I went to see a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine yesterday. He was an old doctor of traditional Chinese medicine. It is said that many people with respiratory tract problems had recovered wherever they went. Now I'm worried about whether traditional Chinese medicine can completely cure my respiratory disease. I haven't gone to a big hospital to take any lens. I doubt that I have nasopharyngeal carcinoma. I don't know whether nasopharyngeal carcinoma can be completely cured. I found a lot of information on the Internet, let's understand the side effects of stent placement for nasopharyngeal carcinoma

The patients with single distant metastasis or cervical lymph node metastasis more than 10 cm can be changed to radical radiotherapy if the symptoms are improved and the distant metastasis can be controlled after palliative radiotherapy.
