Does nasopharyngeal cancer have a high survival rate? Is it hereditary?

Does nasopharyngeal cancer have a high survival rate? Is it hereditary?

1. Most of the patients are middle-aged, but some are young people. The cause is related to racial susceptibility, with yellow people being more susceptible than white people, genetic factors, and Epstein-Barr virus infection. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is highly malignant and can metastasize to cervical lymph nodes in the early stages.

2. The specific survival period of nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients depends on the patient's own physical condition and the choice of treatment method. As long as everyone chooses the correct treatment method according to the symptoms, the patient's survival period can be maximized. In addition, patients or family members should learn more about the early treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and communicate more with the attending physician, which will help prolong the early survival period of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Whether the early treatment method of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is appropriate is the most important factor affecting the patient's survival rate. As far as the early treatment method of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is concerned, the possibility of surgical resection is very low. Clinically, the early treatment methods of nasopharyngeal carcinoma mainly include radiotherapy, chemotherapy, traditional Chinese medicine treatment and immunotherapy. The above methods have their own advantages in treatment, but there are also certain disadvantages.

3. It is difficult to answer whether nasopharyngeal carcinoma is hereditary. This is because human cells are divided into two categories: somatic cells and germ cells, such as muscle cells, bone cells, and nerve cells. There is no direct connection between the previous generation and the next generation. Only germ cells - sperm and egg cells are the cells that communicate the genetic information between parents and children. When the DNA in the germ cells of the father and mother becomes cancerous, all cells in their children's bodies acquire this changed genetic information and may become cancerous. This is a "hereditary" cancer.
