What is the treatment for nasopharyngeal carcinoma? How effective is it?

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a common malignant tumor in the nasal mucosa, and its etiology is closely related to genetic, viral, and environmental factors. Early nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients mainly show symptoms such as nasal congestion, nosebleeds, and headaches. In the late stage, as the tumor metastasizes to nearby parts, the patient's symptoms will gradually become more severe, such as deafness, swollen cervical lymph nodes, cranial nerve compression symptoms, and malignant diseases.

Treatments for nasopharyngeal cancer include:

1. Biological immunotherapy and biological immunotherapy can directly remove residual tumor cells in the body, improve the body's overall immune function, solve subclinical metastases that are difficult to solve with conventional treatments, further improve and consolidate the therapeutic effect, reduce recurrence, and improve the quality of life of cancer patients.

2. Radiotherapy. Radiotherapy has a more direct killing effect on cancer cells, so local radiation can be selected for the treatment of advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma, but the premise is that the patient is in good physical condition. The dose, range and course of radiotherapy for advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma should be carefully selected according to the scope of the lesion and human body function. Generally speaking, combined chemotherapy is one of the commonly used treatments for advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Radiotherapy is better than simple radiotherapy or simple chemotherapy.
