summary

My sister is pregnant. A few days ago, she went to the hospital for examination because of a headache. The result was very unpleasant. My sister got nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The doctor suggested abortion surgery and corresponding examination and treatment for adults. Otherwise, both adults and fetus are very dangerous. Let me talk about how to treat nasopharyngeal carcinoma in pregnant women.

How to treat nasopharyngeal carcinoma in pregnant women

First of all, once nasopharyngeal carcinoma is found during pregnancy, it is best to do abortion surgery in time for corresponding examination and treatment, because pregnant women can not accept chemotherapy and radiotherapy, which is adverse to the growth and development of the fetus. If you do not have abortion surgery, then it is very dangerous for adults, and it will endanger the lives of patients.

Second, nasopharyngeal carcinoma can take radiotherapy, radiotherapy has been the preferred method for the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The reason is that most nasopharyngeal carcinoma is poorly differentiated, highly sensitive to radiation, and the primary focus and cervical lymph drainage area are easily included in the radiation field. Since 1940s, deep X-ray radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma has been carried out in China. From 1950s to 1960s, 60Co external radiation therapy was carried out, and the combined large field irradiation of nasopharynx and neck was changed to small field irradiation, which reduced the radiation reaction and improved the survival rate.

Third, nasopharyngeal carcinoma can also be treated by surgery and chemotherapy according to the needs of the patient's condition. The specific treatment should be decided according to the patient's condition after the doctor's diagnosis. No matter what kind of treatment, we should pay more attention to the mood and diet of patients.
