Can nasopharyngeal cancer be cured? What are the dietary treatments for nasopharyngeal cancer?

There are many factors to consider when deciding whether nasopharyngeal cancer can be cured. For patients with early-stage nasopharyngeal cancer, it mainly depends on whether appropriate treatment measures are taken in time. Generally speaking, early-stage nasopharyngeal cancer tumors are small and have not spread or metastasized. The most effective treatment is surgical resection. The 5-year survival rate after resection of early-stage lung cancer can reach 60%-90%. After surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, traditional Chinese medicine and other treatments can be used within a certain period of time to prevent recurrence.

For patients with advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma, it mainly depends on whether the treatment method is appropriate and the patient's physical condition. The treatment methods for advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma mainly include radiotherapy, chemotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine. 70% of patients with advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma have their symptoms alleviated after radiotherapy. External radiotherapy with different doses and fractions can relieve local symptoms of primary or metastatic lesions. However, since radiotherapy can also cause damage to normal cells, radiotherapy should be used with caution for patients with advanced lung cancer who have very weak physical functions.

If patients with nasopharyngeal cancer actively receive treatment, maintain a good attitude, and have a good diet, recovery is entirely possible.

The main dietary treatment methods are:

1. Rock sugar almond paste: 15g sweet almond, 3g bitter almond, 50g polished rice, appropriate amount of rock sugar. Soak the sweet almond and bitter almond in water until soft and peel, mash them, add polished rice, water and rock sugar and cook into thick porridge, once every other day. It has the effects of moistening the lungs and removing phlegm, relieving cough and asthma, and moistening the intestines.

2. Ginkgo jujube porridge: 25 grams of ginkgo, 20 red dates, 50 grams of glutinous rice. Cook ginkgo, red dates and glutinous rice together to make porridge. Take it warm on an empty stomach in the morning and evening, which has the effect of detoxification and swelling.

3. Angelica dahurica stewed with bird's nest: 9 grams of Angelica dahurica, 9 grams of bird's nest, and appropriate amount of rock sugar. Stew the Angelica dahurica and bird's nest until very soft, filter out the residue. Add appropriate amount of rock sugar to season and stew for a while. Take 1 to 2 times a day. It has the effect of nourishing the lungs and yin, relieving cough and stopping bleeding.
