What to do if nasopharyngeal carcinoma metastasizes to the liver in the late stage and how to care for it

In the advanced stage of nasopharyngeal cancer, the cancer cells have metastasized to the liver. What should the patient do? How to take care of it?

If nasopharyngeal carcinoma metastasizes to the liver, intravenous chemotherapy and liver tumor interventional embolization can be considered. The liver is injected with high concentrations of chemotherapy drugs and the hepatic artery is embolized to kill and starve the tumor cells. If the liver metastasis is single, radiotherapy of the metastatic lesion can also be considered.

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is generally sensitive to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Even if it metastasizes, some patients can still achieve better results. They should have the confidence to overcome the tumor, eat regularly, and strengthen their physical fitness. If there is pain due to bone metastasis, palliative radiotherapy can be used. If the pain is caused by other tumors, you can go to a regular hospital to get prescription painkillers.

There are many dietary treatments for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Here are some:

1. Imperata root and reed root tea is a common medicinal food for the treatment of nasopharyngeal cancer. 30g of fresh Imperata root and fresh reed root are used as tea. It has the effects of cooling blood and stopping bleeding, clearing heat and promoting body fluid, and diuresis. It is most suitable for people with hot qi and blood and insufficient yin fluid. However, it is not suitable for people with spleen and stomach deficiency.

For the care of lung cancer, smoking should be prohibited and controlled in daily life. Epidemiological data and a large number of animal experiments have fully proved that smoking is the main factor of lung cancer. The cause of lung cancer is very complicated, but the research on the mechanism of smoking-related lung cancer is now relatively clear.
