Is nasopharyngeal carcinoma easy to treat? What are the treatment methods?

Nasopharyngeal cancer has caused troubles to many patients at present. It has damaged the physical and mental health of patients. In the process of treating nasopharyngeal cancer, it is necessary to use the medicine correctly. The following editor will introduce to you, is nasopharyngeal cancer easy to treat? What are the treatment methods?

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is highly malignant. Due to the particularity of its lesion site, radiotherapy is the main treatment for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Retrospective data on a large number of cases at home and abroad show that the average 5-year survival rate of early-stage nasopharyngeal carcinoma is about 50%, while that of mid- to late-stage nasopharyngeal carcinoma is only 20%-30%.

The treatment of early-stage nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients mainly depends on whether appropriate treatment methods are taken in time. The most important treatment method for early-stage nasopharyngeal carcinoma is radiotherapy. The 5-year survival rate after early treatment is over 70%. For patients in the late stage, in addition to whether the treatment method is appropriate, the patient's overall condition is also very important.

For patients with nasopharyngeal cancer, the better the physical function and the stronger the tolerance, the better the treatment effect will be and the greater the chance of curing nasopharyngeal cancer.

What are the treatments for nasopharyngeal cancer?

In general hospitals, nasopharyngeal carcinoma is treated with surgical resection and chemotherapy in the early stage. However, there is nothing that can be done in the late stage. Our hospital uses the Atom Knife multi-core guided implantation technology to treat nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Through the three-dimensional stereotactic TPS system, according to the location of the tumor and the required dose, micro atoms can be accurately implanted into the tumor or the tissue infiltrated by the tumor.

During treatment, atoms form a radiation field that makes tumor cells lose their ability to reproduce, thereby achieving a more thorough treatment effect while minimizing damage to normal tissues.

Here we would like to remind patients that the cure rate of nasopharyngeal cancer in the early stages is still very high. When any adverse symptoms appear in the body, timely examination must be carried out to find out the cause. Early treatment of cancer will lead to early recovery.
