Can patients with nasopharyngeal cancer live for 30 years? What are the factors that affect survival?

1. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a nasopharyngeal tumor that occurs between the nasal cavity and the oropharynx. Nowadays, early treatment is mainly surgical treatment, which is a malignant tumor with good treatment effect, but the key to achieving significant therapeutic effects lies in early detection and early treatment. Generally speaking, the 5-year survival rate of stage I nasopharyngeal carcinoma is as high as 80-90%, while the 5-year survival rate of stage IV nasopharyngeal carcinoma is only 40-50%. If the early symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma can be found, it can be diagnosed and treated early, and a longer survival period can be obtained. Some patients can still live for 30 years.

2. In fact, the survival period of nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients is different, which is affected by many factors. Among them, the treatment method is also the key to determine the survival period, so it is necessary to go to a regular hospital for treatment. The correct treatment method can improve the treatment effect of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and prolong the patient's survival period. Generally speaking, radiotherapy is the main treatment for stage I and II nasopharyngeal carcinoma, which uses radiation to eliminate lesions and has a more direct killing effect on cancer cells. The radiotherapy and chemotherapy effects of stage III and IV nasopharyngeal carcinoma are better than radiotherapy alone.

3. The improvement of the physical function of nasopharyngeal cancer patients is also one of the important factors affecting the survival of nasopharyngeal cancer. In order to improve the immunity of patients, they can resist the development of cancer and tolerate various drug treatments. It is very important for patients with advanced nasopharyngeal cancer to improve their immune skills and resistance. The survival rate of advanced nasopharyngeal cancer should reduce the intake of oil in the diet; increase the intake of cellulose in the diet; avoid eating strong alcohol, spicy, hot, and irritating foods. You can also take Chinese medicine with spleen and kidney effects to improve immunity.
