Can nasopharyngeal carcinoma be cured in the middle stage?

The development of tumors will eventually cause great harm to the body. When it comes to mid-stage nasopharyngeal cancer, it affects the body's sense of smell and vision. Can mid-stage nasopharyngeal cancer be cured?

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is highly malignant and can metastasize to the cervical lymph nodes in the early stages. Once you are diagnosed with nasopharyngeal carcinoma, you must receive prompt treatment, otherwise you may lose your life at any time. Now people are concerned about how long people can live with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Let's take a look at the mid-term treatment methods for nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

1. Surgical treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is to remove the tumor. Therefore, it is only suitable for early stage nasopharyngeal carcinoma. It has certain limitations in the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and is prone to cause metastasis or recurrence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. It is not conducive to prolonging the life of nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients.

2. Radiotherapy: Patients with nasopharyngeal cancer use radiotherapy to kill tumor cells, but normal tissues or organs are inevitably exposed to radiation and produce radiation reactions. Patients with nasopharyngeal cancer who have undergone radiotherapy often give up treatment due to the unbearable pain, and have no choice but to let the disease devour their lives.

3. Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy is not the best treatment for nasopharyngeal carcinoma and is rarely used. It is often used in combination with radiotherapy. The combination of the two does not reduce the pain caused to nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients.

Treatments for mid-stage nasopharyngeal carcinoma include surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Surgery can play a good role in treating tumors in the early stages, but it is difficult to remove tiny tumor metastases.

Although radiotherapy and chemotherapy can effectively and accurately kill tumor cells, with the development of science they have also gained a certain degree of precision and balance. It seems that mid-stage nasopharyngeal carcinoma can be cured.
