What should I do if nasopharyngeal carcinoma metastasizes to the brain? What are the symptoms?

The most typical characteristic of cancer cells is that they are easy to metastasize and spread, which is also the reason why they are difficult to treat. Nasopharyngeal cancer may also metastasize to the brain, so what are the symptoms of nasopharyngeal cancer metastasizing to the brain?

What to do if nasopharyngeal carcinoma metastasizes to the brain:

In the late stage of metastasis, the surgical effect is not very good, and comprehensive radiotherapy and chemotherapy are harmful to the body. It is recommended to consider combining the comprehensive anti-tumor program of traditional Chinese medicine, combining some anti-cancer Chinese medicine, and combining syndrome differentiation and disease treatment, which often can achieve better results. It can effectively improve systemic symptoms and improve short-term and long-term efficacy. The effect of traditional Chinese medicine treatment should be better. The tumor is not a simple mass, but a local manifestation of internal lesions, which is caused by human immune dysfunction and imbalance of yin and yang.

The treatment effect of simply eliminating tumors is often not ideal. Traditional Chinese medicine uses a four-in-one treatment, comprehensive treatment, and holistic treatment from the perspectives of overall health, cancer and correction, medicine, heart, body, and food to improve symptoms, control disease development, inhibit tumors, improve the quality of life, and ultimately achieve the goal of prolonging the patient's life.

What are the symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma brain metastasis? There are usually many symptoms, such as fatigue, hemiplegia, hemiphasia, aphasia, ataxia, nystagmus, etc. Metastatic tumors in the sellar region are manifested as polydipsia and polyuria. Increased intracranial pressure is a typical manifestation of brain metastasis. Due to the rapid growth of the tumor, severe surrounding edema, and obvious symptoms of increased intracranial pressure, patients will experience a series of symptoms such as headache, malignant vomiting, and drowsiness.

CT shows isodense, low-density or high-density shadows with obvious surrounding edema bands. Sometimes low-density metastatic lesions are covered by edema bands and are difficult to detect. Metastatic lesions are ring-shaped or uniformly enhanced. MRI enhanced scanning helps to distinguish radiation-induced brain damage from brain metastatic lesions. It has been reported that patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma may have single metastatic lesions in the cerebellopontine angle, and MRI can sensitively detect metastases in this rare location.

For the metastasis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, patients should be mentally prepared, not be too worried or anxious, actively cooperate with doctors for treatment, and maintain an optimistic attitude. I also hope that patients will recover soon.
