Treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Treatment of nasopharyngeal cancer:

1. Treatments for nasopharyngeal carcinoma generally include radiotherapy, chemotherapy, surgery, etc.

2. The incidence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is generally related to family inheritance, viral factors, bad eating habits, living environment, region, etc. In the early stages of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, patients often experience nasal symptoms such as respiration of nasal blood and nasal congestion; tumors affecting the ears can cause tinnitus, hearing loss, etc. Brain symptoms such as headaches and diplopia, as well as manifestations such as swollen lymph nodes in the neck may also occur. If the above symptoms occur, you need to seek medical attention in time. After inquiring about the medical history in detail, the doctor will palpate the patient's neck to determine whether there are any abnormal signs, and then may recommend that the patient undergo EBV serological tests, CT, MRI, and biopsy to clarify the diagnosis and rule out other diseases.

3. Obviously, nasopharyngeal carcinoma needs active treatment. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is mostly poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma, which is sensitive to radiotherapy. Radiotherapy is often the first choice of treatment, followed by chemotherapy. In a few cases, surgical treatment can also be performed. It is recommended that patients avoid excessive tension and stress, maintain a good attitude, and avoid bad emotions, so as not to affect the recovery of the disease. Usually, you should avoid eating spicy food, pay attention to a light diet, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and eat more high-protein, high-nutrition, and dietary fiber-rich foods. At the same time, you can do appropriate exercise to improve your physical fitness. Avoid staying up late for a long time, ensure adequate sleep, and pay more attention to rest, which will help recovery.
