Can nasopharyngeal carcinoma be cured in the early stages?

Nasopharyngeal cancer is a regional and familial cancer, which is mainly related to eating habits. A family may have several patients with nasopharyngeal cancer, which has a great impact on the family. Whether nasopharyngeal cancer can be cured in the early stage has become the most concerned issue for patients and their families. This is related to many factors. Nasopharyngeal cancer treatment experts pointed out that early detection has a better chance of cure, and it is also closely related to the treatment method and the patient's physical condition.

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a malignant tumor of the top and side walls of the nasopharynx. Most nasopharyngeal carcinomas are malignant tumors with low malignancy, so the disease develops rapidly. The earlier the early symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma are discovered, the better the prognosis will be if the treatment is started earlier. The most common treatments are surgery and radiotherapy. However, due to the special physiological structure of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, the nasopharyngeal cavity is deep and narrow, and there are many important blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatic tissues nearby, which makes surgical treatment difficult and difficult to achieve radical resection. Radiotherapy also has great damage to the patient's normal human cells, so the early biological treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is more effective and recognized by nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients.

The pathological characteristics of nasopharyngeal carcinoma are mostly poorly differentiated carcinomas, which are more malignant and more sensitive to radiation, which provides favorable conditions for radiotherapy. After a sufficient amount of radiotherapy, nasopharyngeal carcinoma can be controlled or cured, but this amount is not easy to grasp, and nasopharyngeal carcinoma is prone to skull base, parapharyngeal, and cervical lymph node metastasis, so it still needs to be combined with an adjuvant therapy. The early biological treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is effective. If combined with radiotherapy, it can not only amplify the effect of radiotherapy but also reduce the toxic side effects of radiotherapy.

Although the biological treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is effective in the early stage, it still needs to be combined with other treatment methods, such as surgical resection. Surgical resection is generally suitable for patients with early nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Cancer cells are removed through surgery. The scope of surgical resection is determined by the patient's condition. Tumor tissue can be removed quickly and the effect is fast. However, due to the limitations of surgical treatment itself, it cannot completely eradicate tumor cells, and it is easy to recur and metastasize, causing tumor cells to spread to other parts of the body, seriously endangering the patient's health.

It is undeniable that the early biological treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma has outstanding effects. Biological treatment is a new tumor treatment strategy developed in recent years with the development of science and technology, and has become the fourth means of tumor treatment. It is a type of treatment method that uses biological agents to regulate the body's own biological response and mobilize the immune defense function of tumor patients to eliminate tumors. It achieves the purpose of tumor by regulating the body's own immune function and has the characteristics of high efficiency, non-toxicity and targeting.

The entire treatment process of biological therapy is divided into three parts: peripheral blood mononuclear cell collection, in vitro and reinfusion. First, a blood cell separator is used to separate the mononuclear cells in the patient's entire peripheral blood, and other blood components are returned to the patient intact. The separated cells are then sent to a special laboratory for in vitro culture to obtain DC and CIK cells. After 7 days, the cells that have proliferated several times are reinfused back into the patient's body in batches. The entire operation process is carried out under sterile conditions, and the treatment is relatively safe.

The outstanding effect of early biological treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is mainly because biological therapy can help the body restore its ability to fight tumor cells, mobilize the body's immune function to the maximum extent, reduce the number of tumor cells in the body as much as possible, reduce the recurrence of malignant tumors, and thus prolong the patient's life. In addition, it is also related to the patient's physical function to a certain extent. Only with good physical function and strong immunity can one resist the development of cancer and tolerate various drug treatments. Therefore, improving immune function and enhancing resistance to tumors are extremely important for nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients and patients with advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma. In general, as long as early detection can be achieved and effective and reasonable treatment plans are adopted, cancer can be effectively controlled. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients should treat the disease with a good attitude and receive regular treatment as soon as possible.
