How should patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma be cared for after surgery

How should patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma be cared for after surgery?

1. Clinically, surgery is often the preferred treatment method for NPC patients. However, for patients who undergo surgery to treat NPC, it is crucial to understand how to care for NPC patients after surgery. If improper care occurs after surgery, it will often seriously affect the therapeutic effect of the surgery and even increase the chance of postoperative recurrence and metastasis.

2. Lifestyle adjustment: People with nasopharyngeal cancer should avoid physical overwork: such as heavy physical labor, staying up late, excessive physical exercise, etc., which can cause the body's internal environment to become unbalanced, reduce resistance, and promote cancer recurrence or metastasis.

3. Care for compression hemostasis: The patient will have a small amount of bleeding after the operation. At this time, the patient should immediately cooperate with the doctor to apply compression hemostasis. If bleeding occurs again, the window should be opened immediately to stop bleeding again, and the sterile dressing should be replaced in time on the second day after the operation.

How to prevent recurrence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma?

1. If you have nasopharyngeal cancer, you should still pay attention to a regular life, not smoke or drink, not eat spicy and irritating foods, try not to stay up late, eat more nutritious foods, take appropriate medications, and go to the hospital for examination in time if you feel unwell.

2. At the same time, eat more potassium-rich foods, such as potatoes, peaches, apricots, oranges, etc. Nasopharyngeal cancer patients should go for walks outdoors more often, breathe fresh air, do appropriate exercise, and it is very important to maintain good living habits and a healthy mentality.

How long can a patient with mid-stage nasopharyngeal cancer generally live?

During the examination, cauliflower-like new growths or crater-like ulcers may be found in the above-mentioned areas. At this time, local pathology is required. If it is confirmed to be nasopharyngeal carcinoma, relevant radiotherapy and chemotherapy will be required.

The nasal cancer we usually refer to is mainly nasopharyngeal cancer. The exact survival time is uncertain, and it depends on the type of tumor and whether it is sensitive to radiotherapy. First of all, the late survival rate of nasopharyngeal cancer is of course closely related to its severity and whether it allows metastasis.
