What tonics should patients with nasopharyngeal cancer take

What supplements should patients with nasopharyngeal cancer take?

1. Although diet and health care for nasopharyngeal carcinoma are very important, we should also follow a scientific and reasonable diet, rather than blindly follow it. In daily diet, nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients should make appropriate adjustments. For example, meat other than mutton, fish other than hairtail, turtle, eggs, and milk are all high-quality supplements, but they should be selected appropriately to take care of the digestion and absorption capacity of the spleen and stomach.

2. Patients with nasopharyngeal cancer can also choose from the following diet: mushrooms, coix seeds, lotus seeds, black fungus, asparagus, lentils, red beans, cabbage, longan, dates, kelp, shrimp, etc.

3. During the diagnosis and treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients, how to supplement nutrition needs to be determined according to the specific situation of the cancer folk prescription, otherwise it will be counterproductive.

The treatment of this disease has the following features:

The first is damage to the vital energy. Tumors can be killed or controlled to a certain extent through surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, but the body is also damaged to varying degrees. For example, according to TCM theory, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are a kind of "attacking evil" and damage the vital energy at the same time, which will cause fatigue, tiredness, hair loss, etc.

The second is weak spleen and stomach. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma have a significant impact on the patient's spleen and stomach function, leading to weak spleen and stomach, poor diet, and even nausea and vomiting.

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a malignant tumor. As cancer cells gradually increase, nutrient consumption also increases. Patients with mid- to late-stage tumors often lose weight, become fatigued, and have low immunity, which causes cancer cells to proliferate faster. What's more serious is that due to poor immunity and poor physical function, many patients are unable to successfully treat cancer, which accelerates the progression of the disease.
