What are the treatments for advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma?

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a common malignant cancer with a relatively high incidence rate. The treatment methods for late-stage nasopharyngeal carcinoma have been significantly improved compared with the past. In fact, the late-stage treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is related to the patient's physical condition, and late-stage treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cannot guarantee a cure.

The main treatment methods for advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma are:

1. Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy can kill tumor cells locally or systemically and has a quick effect, but it cannot eradicate tumor cells. It is easy to metastasize and recur, and has great systemic toxic side effects. It is very easy to cause nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, hair loss and other symptoms, which aggravates the patient's condition and causes damage to the body's immune function. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment is slow to take effect and cannot achieve ideal therapeutic effects in a short period of time.

2 Biological DC-CIK immunotherapy: It is the latest tumor treatment technology that is superior to surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. It is a treatment method that uses biotechnology to cultivate autologous immune cells that can kill tumors in a high-standard laboratory, and then infuse them back into the body to directly kill cancer cells. It can accurately kill residual cancer cells, improve the effect of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, enhance the patient's immune ability, better prevent metastasis and recurrence. It has the effect of reducing toxicity and increasing the efficacy of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, which is conducive to the smooth progress of radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

3. Combined treatment: Systematically and thoroughly remove tumor cells, regulate the patient's immune function, and ensure the patient's full recovery. Remove residual cancer cells and prevent metastasis and recurrence. Enhance tolerance to radiotherapy and chemotherapy and reduce the toxic side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Reduce the immunosuppressive effect of chemotherapy drugs.
