summary

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a kind of terrible malignant tumor. Now many people will suffer from nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Some time ago, my friend's father was diagnosed with nasopharyngeal carcinoma and went to the hospital for surgical treatment. For patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma, do you want to know whether it is OK for nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients not to have surgery?

Does nasopharyngeal carcinoma patient not do an operation OK

First of all: Patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma can also not do surgery, radiotherapy is the preferred method for the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, because most of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is poorly differentiated, highly sensitive to radiation, and the primary focus and neck lymph drainage area are easy to be included in the radiation field.

Secondly, simple resection is feasible for the patients with single lymph node or recurrent solitary lymph node which are not sensitive to radiotherapy. After local invasive anesthesia, the skin and subcutaneous tissue on the surface of the metastasis were cut, and the metastasis and surrounding normal tissue were completely removed.

Finally: after radiotherapy or chemotherapy, the primary nasopharyngeal carcinoma has been controlled, and the whole body is in good condition, leaving only residual or recurrent lesions in the neck, which is limited in scope and active, so cervical lymph node dissection can be considered.

matters needing attention
