Prevention of nasopharyngeal cancer should start with small details

Nasopharyngeal cancer is mainly caused by mental and emotional changes, emotional discomfort, internal organ weakness, insufficient vital energy, inability to adapt to changes in external climate and environment, or by inhalation of viruses, smoke, improper diet, nasopharyngeal diseases (including residual gland infection in the nasopharynx, mucosal erosion, mucosal ulcers, nasopharyngeal hyperplasia and nodules), etc. Nasopharyngeal cancer can be prevented, and prevention of nasopharyngeal cancer requires starting with some small details.

Be mindful of your diet

In daily diet, monk fruit, lily, loquat, American ginseng, yam, lotus seeds, lotus leaves, water chestnut leaves, pear juice, radish juice, mung bean soup, winter melon soup, reed root soup, watermelon, pumpkin, loofah, jellyfish, loquat, kelp, water chestnut, fish, meat, milk, honey, fresh vegetables and fruits are all beneficial to the prevention of nasopharyngeal cancer.

Preventing colds

Pay attention to climate changes, prevent colds, and keep your nose and throat clean to avoid viral infections.

Regular screening and census of high-risk groups

People aged 30 to 59 in high-incidence areas in southern provinces of my country are at high risk of NPC. They should be tested for IgA/VCA, IgA/EA and DNA enzymes. If the IgA/VCA titer is >1:40, or two of the three are positive or any one of the indicators continues to rise, it is a high-risk signal. Examination under a light microscope and biopsy of prone areas can increase the early detection rate of NPC from 20% to 30% to 80% to 90%.

Actively treat precancerous lesions

Nasopharyngeal epithelial hyperplasia, especially precancerous lesions of nasopharyngeal carcinoma such as atypical hyperplasia and dysplasia, should be actively treated. Regular consumption of fresh vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins, vitamins A, C, and E have good antioxidant and anti-epithelial hyperplasia effects.
