How long can advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma be cured

summary

A relative from his hometown went to the hospital for examination because he was always uncomfortable with his nose. Unexpectedly, the result turned out to be advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma, so he didn't want to be treated. He told the doctor that he was going to leave the hospital. Now let's talk about how long it will take to cure the advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

How long can advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma be cured

First, radiotherapy is the main treatment principle of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, supplemented by chemotherapy, such as systemic chemotherapy or arterial infusion. 3. For the residual lymph nodes in the neck after radiotherapy, surgical resection is feasible. Considering the physical condition of patients with advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma, the comprehensive treatment of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine is mainly adopted. The selection of treatment methods not only considers the removal of local cancer, but also pays more attention to systemic treatment, so as to improve the quality of life of patients and prolong the survival period.

Second: the cost of this treatment mainly depends on the local charging standard and the patient's own condition. Generally, the average treatment cost is about 8000-10000 yuan, and the more expensive one is more than 30000 yuan. The specific cost can not be generalized. It should be noted that nasopharyngeal carcinoma is prone to lymph node metastasis or metastasis to some other distant organs in the later stage, and the cost of treatment after metastasis is calculated separately.

Third: there are different types of radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma, which should be selected according to the actual situation of patients. The cost of radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma is different, and the conventional two-dimensional radiotherapy is 1-1. The three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy was about 30000-40000 (excluding the cost of CT positioning), and the intensity-modulated radiotherapy was 40000-50000. In the early stage of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, radiotherapy is the main treatment, and the treatment cost is relatively less. Generally, a course of treatment is more than 10000, and some patients can be well controlled after 2-4 courses of treatment.

matters needing attention

There is no exact figure about the specific operation cost of nasopharyngeal carcinoma surgery, because there are many factors that affect the treatment cost, such as the hospital you choose. If you choose some local top three hospitals, the cost will be relatively high.
