CT scans of nasopharyngeal carcinoma are not accurate but not very effective in treatment

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a disturbing disease, but in sharp contrast to this situation, people know too little about sepsis. The author will introduce to you whether CT examination of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is accurate and how to treat it?

Is CT examination of nasopharyngeal carcinoma accurate?

Nosebleeds and rhinitis, nasal septum deviation, nasal polyps and tumors, nasal vascular malformations and blood factors. CT examination can effectively determine whether the tumor is caused. So don't worry too much. In addition, it can also show the invasion outside the nasopharynx, such as the nasal cavity, oropharynx, parapharyngeal space, submental fossa, carotid sheath area, pterygopalatine fossa, maxillary sinus, ethmoid sinus, orbit, intracranial cavernous sinus, and retropharyngeal and cervical lymph nodes for metastasis.

How is nasopharyngeal cancer treated?

The treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma includes radiotherapy, surgical treatment, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, etc. Radiotherapy is considered the first choice for the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The vast majority of nasopharyngeal carcinomas are poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinomas, which are more sensitive to radiotherapy. Therapeutic radiotherapy can be used for early and mid-stage cases, and palliative radiotherapy can be appropriately combined with advanced cases. Chemotherapy has a certain short-term effect on nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy are often used for patients in the middle and late stages, such as new adjuvant chemotherapy, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and chemotherapy is mainly used for advanced cases with distant metastasis.

Commonly used chemotherapy regimens include PF and CF5-FUDDP, with an effective rate of about 90%. Other options include PFB, PMB, PFA, CBF, and CAB. Surgical treatment is only suitable for cases with insensitive high-differentiation and residual or recurrent tumors after radiotherapy.
