How long can patients with advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma generally live?

How long can patients with advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma generally live?

1. Patients with advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma are more likely to metastasize, which is usually seen in the neck, jaw lymph nodes or lung, liver, and brain bones. Metastasis can cause corresponding symptoms such as poor breathing, indigestion, cachexia, anemia, general fatigue, and weight loss. If the condition becomes more serious, it will lead to multiple organ dysfunction and failure, and then lead to the end of the patient's life.

2. However, whether patients with advanced nasopharyngeal cancer can live long-term also depends on the patient's condition, medical intervention or late metastasis. Nasopharyngeal cancer is a common malignant tumor, and the incidence of nasopharyngeal cancer is the highest in Guangdong.

How to treat nasopharyngeal carcinoma with chemotherapy? Revealing several chemotherapy options for nasopharyngeal carcinoma

1. III Concurrent clinical trials have found that concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy can significantly improve the local control rate of patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma, significantly delay or prevent distant metastasis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and have a definite effect on improving survival rate. However, its toxicity cannot be ignored, especially for patients after induction chemotherapy, who cannot tolerate strong toxic side effects. We recommend that Chinese medicine be combined with induction chemotherapy, adjuvant chemotherapy, or concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy to improve efficiency, reduce toxicity, and have a good synergistic effect on the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

2. The commonly used chemotherapy methods for nasopharyngeal carcinoma in clinical practice mainly include induction chemotherapy, adjuvant chemotherapy, concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy, concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy-adjuvant chemotherapy, which greatly improves the efficacy and clinical symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. In recent years, the incidence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma has increased, indicating that the occurrence of this disease threatens people's health. Chemotherapy can be considered for nasopharyngeal carcinoma, but the method and process of chemotherapy should be clearly understood. Patients should be aware of how to treat nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
