How long can nasopharyngeal carcinoma live after excision

summary

As a student of clinical medicine, it is essential to go to the hospital for internship. I met a patient with nasopharyngeal carcinoma who just finished the operation and recovered very well. The patient has been very optimistic. Now let me tell you how long he can live after resection of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

How long can nasopharyngeal carcinoma live after excision

First: how long can nasopharyngeal carcinoma survive after surgery mainly depends on whether it is the best time to accept surgical treatment, whether the preoperative and postoperative nursing is appropriate, whether the patient's mentality is good, whether the patient's physical function is good or bad, etc. To ensure that a successful operation, how long to live, but also in postoperative recurrence. If there is no recurrence, it can survive for a long time. On the contrary, it may only have a few months or years of life after recurrence. Therefore, there is no definite statement about how long nasopharyngeal carcinoma can survive after surgery.

Second, in view of the special anatomic status and biological characteristics of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, surgery is not the first choice for treatment, but for nasopharyngeal carcinoma cases without skull and basal bone destruction and distant metastasis, it is still advocated to adopt the comprehensive treatment based on surgery, that is, surgery as the main treatment, assisted by radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The 5-year survival rate of NPC patients after operation is more than 70%, which means that the survival rate of NPC patients after operation is considerable.

Third: postoperative treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma can effectively promote the rehabilitation of patients, but also can effectively prevent postoperative complications and recurrence and metastasis. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma surgery does not mean that the patient is fully recovered, postoperative consolidation treatment is also very important, clinical treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma surgery is often used in the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, and chemoradiotherapy to consolidate the curative effect, stabilize the patient's condition.

matters needing attention

The survival time of nasopharyngeal carcinoma depends not only on the patient's physical condition before and after treatment, but also on the patient's own attitude. If the patient has a strong will to survive and takes the initiative to treat the disease, he believes that the survival time will be longer and the body will recover faster.
