Can nasopharyngeal carcinoma be minimally invasive

summary

My uncle loves smoking very much, and he won't listen to his family's advice. As a result, he has nasopharyngeal carcinoma recently. Can nasopharyngeal carcinoma be minimally invasive? Let's learn about it through the following introduction.

Can nasopharyngeal carcinoma be minimally invasive

First of all, the primary site of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is adjacent to the skull base, and there are many important blood vessels and nerves nearby, so there is no wide safe range for resection. Moreover, most nasopharyngeal carcinoma are undifferentiated squamous cell carcinoma, which are prone to cervical lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis. Therefore, it is not easy to clean up by hand, and the effect is not good.

Secondly, nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells are particularly sensitive to radiotherapy, so it is recognized as the most effective treatment. However, radiotherapy alone has a lot of toxic and side effects, so it should be combined with traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine has the effect of strengthening the body and strengthening the foundation, tonifying qi and nourishing blood, which can improve the body immunity, alleviate the toxic and side effects of radiotherapy, so as to reduce the pain of patients.

Finally, the lesion is located in the posterior upper part of the nasal cavity, and the obstruction of the nostril by the tumor will make the patient have to open his mouth to breathe. Therefore, the water in the mouth evaporates quickly, making the patient dry mouth and cleft lip; and saliva will decrease after radiotherapy. Therefore, in the daily care of patients, family members should give patients more drinking water and always supplement the water needed by the patient's body. In addition, patients with oral Wumei, American ginseng tablets or vitamin C can also play the role of body fluid.

matters needing attention

Pay attention to the head and neck not to be stimulated by the sun and cold wind. Keep the living environment clean, keep the indoor ventilation, keep the air clean and dry. In addition, patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma in the early stage of the disease should do more appropriate physical exercise, but also to supplement nutrition for the next treatment to lay a good foundation.
