Can nasopharyngeal carcinoma be cured without radiotherapy?

Can nasopharyngeal carcinoma be cured without radiotherapy? This is a question that many patients and friends are very concerned about. The degree of treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma mainly depends on the patient's own physical condition and the treatment method chosen. Common treatment methods for nasopharyngeal cancer mainly include surgical treatment, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and biological treatment. The specific treatment method should also be determined based on the patient's own physical condition and the medical conditions of the hospital. Some patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma do not need radiotherapy and can be cured.

Surgical resection is generally suitable for patients with early nasopharyngeal cancer. Cancer cells can be removed through surgical treatment. 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 prone to recurrence and metastasis, causing tumor cells to spread to other parts of the body, seriously endangering the patient's health. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy kill tumor cells through chemical drugs and radiation, which can reduce the burden of tumor cells locally or systemically and have a fast effect. However, it cannot eradicate tumor cells, and it is prone to recurrence and metastasis. It has great systemic toxic side effects and can easily cause patients to have symptoms such as nausea and vomiting, causing damage to the body's immune function, dealing a heavy blow to the patient's physical and mental health, and seriously undermining the patient's confidence in fighting cancer.

The difference between biological therapy and other therapies is that it can help the body restore its ability to fight tumor cells, maximize the body's immune function, minimize the number of residual tumor cells in the body, reduce the recurrence of malignant tumors, and thus prolong the patient's survival time.

The new therapy pioneered by the Tumor Biotherapy Center has unique advantages and good anti-tumor effects, and will surely bring a brighter future to the majority of cancer patients!

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 is extremely important for nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients, especially those in the middle and late stages of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. In terms of diet, nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients should eat foods that are easy to digest and rich in nutrients such as protein, vitamins, and amino acids during radiotherapy and chemotherapy; quit smoking and drinking, avoid spicy and irritating foods; and avoid eating too dry and rough foods. You can also rely on taking Chinese medicine that has the effect of tonifying the spleen and kidneys to enhance immune function.
