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

Third, chemotherapy is also commonly used in the treatment of advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma, which is often used together with other treatment methods.
