5-year survival rate of nasopharyngeal carcinoma

What is the 5-year survival rate of nasopharyngeal cancer? In recent years, the incidence and mortality of nasopharyngeal cancer in China have risen sharply. It is reported that 80% of nasopharyngeal cancer cases in the world occur in China. Nowadays, many patients have nasopharyngeal cancer. It is understood that this is due to the increase in the incidence of nasopharyngeal cancer. Therefore, people pay more attention to nasopharyngeal cancer. If the disease can be discovered in time and treated, the cure rate is very high.

According to statistics, the 5-year survival rate of early-stage NPC patients is 80%, and the treatment effect is very good! The effect of radiotherapy alone is poor for patients in the middle and late stages, and the 5-year survival rate is only about 50%. Therefore, chemotherapy is often performed on patients in the middle and late stages clinically to reduce the recurrence rate and distant metastasis rate.

Since the survival rate of nasopharyngeal carcinoma in the late stage is not high, it is critical to prolong the life of nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients. In addition to regular check-ups and health care, health care is also important. The body can be regulated through diet, moderate exercise, a light, rich and healthy diet, an optimistic and positive attitude, and drugs that inhibit cancer can all prolong the patient's life.

Many patients with mid-to-late stage nasopharyngeal carcinoma use both Chinese and Western medicine for treatment. Chinese medicine enhances the body's resistance and inhibits cancer cells, while Western medicine can quickly kill cancer cells. Chinese and Western medicine cooperate with each other to prevent cell spread, reduce patient pain and prolong life.

After completing radiotherapy, patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma should go to the hospital for regular follow-up examinations. According to years of research, nasopharyngeal carcinoma may recur after radiotherapy, and the recurrence time of local or neck is often concentrated within two years after radiotherapy. The recurrence rate is particularly high in the first year after radiotherapy, and the recurrence rate is very low after more than 5 years. Therefore, intensive follow-up examinations should be performed within two years after radiotherapy.
