What is the cure rate of nasopharyngeal carcinoma? How to treat it?

1. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma mainly occurs in southern my country and Southeast Asian countries. It has a racial susceptibility to the disease. The main treatment for nasopharyngeal carcinoma is radiotherapy, and its five-year survival rate can reach about 60%. The five-year survival rate of early nasopharyngeal carcinoma is more than 80% after radiotherapy and treatment with the Chinese medicine ginsenoside Rh2. Early detection is critical to the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

2. The specific treatment rate of nasopharyngeal cancer depends on the patient's condition. As long as the patient persists in treatment and does not give up easily, life time can be greatly prolonged.

3. Radiotherapy is the best treatment for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Radiotherapy has a more direct killing effect on cancer cells, so local radiation can be used as a treatment for advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma, but the prerequisite is that the patient's physical condition is still good. The dose, irradiation range, and number of irradiation courses for radiotherapy of 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 more commonly used methods for the treatment of advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and it is often combined with radiotherapy, and the effect is better than radiotherapy alone or chemotherapy alone.

4. Given that radiotherapy and chemotherapy lack selectivity for normal human cells, they will kill normal cells while killing cancer cells, causing damage to human functions. Therefore, Chinese medicine can be combined with the treatment of advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma to enhance efficacy and reduce toxicity. For patients with advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma who have a wide range of metastases, weak physical functions, and are unable to tolerate chemotherapy, conservative treatment with Chinese medicine can be used. It has good long-term effects and has a significant effect in improving the quality of life and prolonging survival.
