What is stage 4 nasopharyngeal carcinoma and how to treat it

What is stage 4 nasopharyngeal cancer? How is it treated?

1. Stage 4 NPC is an advanced cancer that usually metastasizes and is unlikely to be treated surgically. Patients are advised to use conservative treatment, chemotherapy, or traditional Chinese medicine consolidation treatment.

2. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma refers to a malignant tumor occurring on the nasopharyngeal mucosa. A large amount of clinical practice has shown that high-dose radiotherapy, chemotherapy or drug-resistant patients in the middle and late stages will only make the weak life more dangerous and accelerate the death of the patient.

3. Chinese medicine can make up for the deficiencies of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. It can not only consolidate the effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, but also eliminate the toxic side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. More importantly, it can cut off the replication function of cancer cells, that is, cut off the important division method of cancer cells - microtubule protein synthesis, gradually reduce the cell volume, form stable anti-cancer cells in blood vessels, improve the body's metabolic function, that is, by inhibiting the respiration of cancer cells, making cancer cells ischemic, hypoxic, and no longer fission, so as to achieve the purpose of curing cancer.

4. This disease belongs to the categories of "nasal sinusitis", "true headache", "carbuncle on stone", and "loss of glory" in clinical Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine believes that lung heat, phlegm fire, and liver and gallbladder heat toxins are the main causes of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Heat accumulates in the upper part of the body, lung qi fails to vent, and heat forces blood to leave the meridians, causing nose bleeding. Then qi and blood stagnate, body fluids gather into phlegm, and phlegm heat condenses into lumps; the liver fails to release, qi is depressed and qi is leaked, and qi leakage cannot transport water and moisture, which accumulates into phlegm, and phlegm turbidity condenses into nodules and lumps; liver qi is stagnant, and fire is turned into fire for a long time, burning fluid into phlegm, and phlegm fire interferes with clear yang, causing irritability, tinnitus, deafness, headache, blurred vision, and phlegm nodules in the neck.
