Can nasopharyngeal carcinoma be cured in the early stage

summary

My grandfather always has a low fever. After taking the medicine, he will still have a fever. Besides, he has some cough and blood in his nose. Later, the symptoms become more and more serious, and people gradually become thinner and thinner. After examination, I know that he is in the late stage of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Now he is ready for radiotherapy. Can nasopharyngeal carcinoma be cured? Let me share my experience with you about my grandfather.

Can nasopharyngeal carcinoma be cured in the early stage

First, radiotherapy is the main treatment for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Radiotherapy is more effective, of course, according to the different stages to determine whether to add concurrent chemotherapy. The main radiotherapy techniques are IMRT, 3D-CRT, CT-Sim, and conventional radiotherapy. Now the application of IMRT and 3D-CRT precise radiotherapy has improved the 5-year disease-free survival rate from 30% of conventional radiotherapy to 70%. Local recurrence only accounted for about 6%. 25% or distant metastasis, which has not been able to solve the problem.

Second, there is no good way to cure cancer. It is very troublesome for patients with such a situation, because the malignant degree of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is very high, and it is easy to relapse. At present, patients in the line of chemotherapy damage to the body is very heavy, patients in this situation may be worse and worse, because the patient's mentality is not good, for survival with tumor is very few.

Third, it is difficult to detect cancer patients in the early stage. At present, patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma are generally found in the third stage. Now the combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy is still effective. A lot of people go out and survive for more than a decade. The sequelae after radiotherapy must pay attention to rehabilitation, otherwise the possibility of recurrence will be greater. For example, dry mouth and limited mouth opening can be alleviated by oral alcohol.

matters needing attention

Because after suffering from cancer, the patient's physical condition will go from bad to worse. At this time, it is particularly important to enhance the resistance. The diet of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma must be rich in protein, vitamins, amino acids and other nutrients. They should choose more heat clearing and detoxification, cold purging food, and phlegm resolving food, such as kelp, Porphyra, Gracilaria lemaneiformis, jellyfish and so on. Quit smoking, alcohol, avoid spicy food and old food, such as pepper, pepper, fennel, leek, onion, ginger, mustard, mutton, dog, venison, scaleless fish, diet fish, shrimp and crab, etc.
