Can nasopharyngeal carcinoma be operated on

First, the tumor site of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is close to many important organs. Surgical resection is dangerous and destructive to the head, neck and maxillofacial structures. Therefore, surgical treatment is generally not used. The degree of differentiation of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells is relatively low, and they are sensitive to radiation, so radiotherapy is the first choice for the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Second, traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine have their own advantages in the treatment of tumors. Therefore, in the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, we must give full play to the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, adhere to long-term treatment, relax the psychological state of patients, do a good job in psychological treatment, increase diet nutrition, and improve autoimmune function.

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is the most sensitive cancer to radiotherapy. Most of NPC can be cured after radiotherapy.
