Can nasopharyngeal carcinoma cause pneumonia?

Can nasopharyngeal cancer cause pneumonia?

1. After nasopharyngeal carcinoma heals, it varies greatly due to the differences in the disease. Radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma generally does not cause radiation pneumonia, and the lung mass is rarely exposed. More common is aspiration pneumonia caused by dysphagia. Patients with low immunity will develop severe pneumonia.

2. Radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a local treatment method. The main reactions are skin and mucosal reactions, bone marrow suppression, and radiation damage near tissues and organs. In the radiation area, it basically cannot irradiate the lungs, so pneumonia will not occur in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

What is the induction chemotherapy regimen for nasopharyngeal carcinoma?

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a malignant tumor, and timely detection and standardized treatment are the key. Generally speaking, the pathological type is squamous adenocarcinoma.

The first choice of treatment is radiotherapy, which is more sensitive to radiotherapy. Timely and standardized treatment is the key. The specific chemotherapy plan needs to be selected by the doctor according to the patient's specific situation or timely face-to-face consultation.

Doctors will treat nasopharyngeal carcinoma according to the specific situation. In the case of chemotherapy, this chemotherapy drug has a certain stimulating effect. If an abnormal reaction occurs at the same time as chemotherapy, it needs to be stopped as soon as possible. Laryngeal cancer induction therapy is mostly used for some patients with advanced laryngeal cancer or large cervical metastatic lymph nodes, with an efficiency of 60%~96% and a complete remission rate of 12~50%. III Any scientific research has shown that induction therapy reduces the partial recurrence and distant metastasis rates, but fails to improve the survival rate, and the treatment-related survival rate is 8%.
