How to treat nasopharyngeal carcinoma

First of all: the effect of surgical treatment of early nasopharyngeal carcinoma is relatively good, and the expected survival time of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is good. Generally speaking, the natural course of nasopharyngeal carcinoma from initial symptoms to death ranges from 3 months to 13 months. According to reports at home and abroad, the 5-year survival rate after radiotherapy is 8% - 62%.

Second: generally, the cure rate is higher with the method of treatment, so now go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible, do not have any psychological pressure, actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, maintain a good optimistic mood, so it is good for your condition.

Finally: Patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma and their families should know more about the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and communicate more with the attending doctors, which is helpful to prolong the survival of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
