A friend said that she always felt uncomfortable when she came in, as if she had a cold. There's always a runny nose. My ears are a little uncomfortable and my head is dizzy. Went to the hospital to see, the doctor said it was nasopharyngeal carcinoma. After treatment, it's better. Now let's share what we can do if we can't eat.

How to do with nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Treatment 1: induction chemotherapy: it is mostly used for patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma or large cervical metastatic lymph nodes. The effective rate is more than half and the complete remission rate is 10-40%. Phase III randomized study shows that induction chemotherapy reduces the local recurrence rate and distant metastasis rate, but fails to improve the survival rate. The treatment-related mortality is 8%. Most scholars hold a negative attitude that induction chemotherapy can improve the survival rate of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Treatment 2: Chinese medicine treatment can be used alone, can also be combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy, with a solid effect. The combination of three-stage chemotherapy and radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma can directly kill some cancer cells and small lesions, and the short-term effect is reliable.

Treatment 3: conventional external irradiation: treatment often uses high-energy rays, gamma rays produced by cobalt treatment machine, or medical linear accelerator. For high-energy X-rays produced, neck irradiation can choose low penetrability radiation line, namely electron line.

matters needing attention

Warm reminder: try to avoid inhaling harmful substances, such as formaldehyde is a colorless gas with strong pungent smell, causing throat pain, cough and chest tightness, which can lead to abnormal smell, irritation and allergy. Long term exposure to low-dose formaldehyde can cause chronic respiratory diseases and nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Benzene is colorless and has a special fragrance. It is recognized as a carcinogen in the world. It has irritating effect on skin, eyes and upper respiratory tract. Ammonia is also a colorless gas with strong pungent smell, which can cause burning sensation of eyes and skin. Large amount of ammonia inhalation can also lead to the occurrence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
