What are the guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and how to diagnose and treat it

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is one of the malignant tumors with a high incidence in my country. It can cause a series of diseases and is not conducive to the health and life safety of patients. Next, the author will introduce you to the diagnosis and treatment guidelines of nasopharyngeal carcinoma? How to diagnose and treat?

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma refers to a malignant tumor that occurs on the top and side walls of the nasopharyngeal cavity. It is one of the malignant tumors with a higher incidence in my country, and the incidence rate is the highest among malignant tumors of the ear, nose and throat. Common clinical symptoms include nasal congestion, blood in the nose, stuffy ears, hearing loss, diplopia, headache, etc.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, although the occurrence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is very complicated, generally speaking, it still has no external causes and external factors, and the deficiency of vital energy plays a leading role, emphasizing that "when vital energy exists, evil cannot interfere, and the accumulation of vital energy will lead to the formation of evil. When vital energy is insufficient, evil will take over the place." The deposit mentioned here not only refers to existence or not, and the deficiency not only refers to more or less, but should also be understood as a mutual balance, which is consistent with the modern medical view of the pathogenesis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

After nasopharyngeal cancer is formed, it continuously consumes Qi and blood, and long-term weakness caused by illness leads to weakness of the righteous Qi. Whether the tumor can be controlled, deteriorated, spread, or metastasized also depends on the outcome of the struggle between the evil Qi and the righteous Qi.

The diagnosis and treatment guidelines for nasopharyngeal carcinoma are as follows:

Radiation therapy is the main treatment.

Adjuvant chemotherapy, such as systemic chemotherapy or arterial catheter injection.

If there are still residual metastatic lymph nodes in the neck after radiotherapy, they can be surgically removed. Considering the physical condition of patients with advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma, comprehensive treatment combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine is mainly adopted. The choice of treatment method should not only consider the removal of local cancer, but also pay attention to systemic treatment to improve the quality of life and prolong survival. Ginsenosides can be used as adjuvant therapy for Rh2. It can consolidate the therapeutic effect, induce tumor cell apoptosis, and transform into normal cells; inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells, and have a certain anti-cancer effect.

We know that the diagnosis and treatment guidelines for nasopharyngeal carcinoma should be actively treated under the guidance of pharmacists to help prolong life.
