How long can one live with nasopharyngeal cancer and how can it be treated

How long can you live with nasopharyngeal cancer? How can it be treated?

1. How long can a person with nasopharyngeal cancer live? This question has always attracted the attention of many people. In fact, for patients with early nasopharyngeal cancer, how long they can live depends mainly on whether appropriate treatment is taken in time.

2. Generally speaking, early-stage nasopharyngeal cancer tumors are small and have not spread or metastasized. The most effective treatment is surgical resection. The 5-year survival rate after resection of early-stage lung cancer can reach 60%-90%. After surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, traditional Chinese medicine and other treatments can be used for a certain period of time to prevent recurrence.

3. For patients with advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma, it mainly depends on whether the treatment method is appropriate and the patient's physical condition. The treatment methods for advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma mainly include radiotherapy, chemotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine. 70% of patients with advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma have their symptoms alleviated after radiotherapy. External radiotherapy with different doses and fractions can relieve local symptoms of primary or metastatic lesions. However, since radiotherapy can also cause damage to normal cells, radiotherapy should be used with caution for patients with advanced lung cancer who have very weak physical functions.

4. Patients should not give up treatment. As long as they insist on treatment, their life span can be greatly improved. For the treatment of nasopharyngeal cancer, you can try Chinese medicine treatment. For example, Fuzheng Shengjin Decoction, the drug composition: Ophiopogon japonicus, Imperata root, Codonopsis pilosula, Glehnia littoralis 12g each, Adenophora scutellariae_Poria cocos, Atractylodes macrocephala, Rehmannia glutinosa 10g each, Scrophularia ningpoensis, Polygonatum odoratum, Lonicera japonica 9g each, Hedyotis diffusa 30g, Scutellaria baicalensis 20-30g, Ligusticum wallichii 3g, Salvia miltiorrhiza 12-15g.
