Can early stage nasopharyngeal carcinoma be cured? How to cure it?

Can early-stage nasopharyngeal cancer be cured? How to treat it?

1. The treatment rate of patients with early nasopharyngeal carcinoma is relatively high. Studies have shown that radiotherapy is the first choice for early treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Due to the special anatomical location of the nasopharynx, surgical operation is difficult, and more than 80% of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma, which is more sensitive to radiotherapy.

2. As for the treatment of early nasopharyngeal carcinoma, the mechanism of traditional treatment of tumors such as surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy can be attributed to "destructive" treatment, that is, killing the tumor to the greatest extent and reducing the tumor burden in the body.

3. However, this "destructive" treatment is a "double-edged sword" that has no selectivity for tissues and cells. While reducing the tumor load, it often also damages innocent normal tissues and cells, causing serious damage to human tissues and organs, and even damaging the human body's "vitality", making it impossible for the patient to recover, and in severe cases, causing the patient's death. When choosing traditional treatment methods, it must be reasonable and moderate.

4. If nasopharyngeal cancer patients can be detected early, receive early standardized treatment, and have a good attitude and rehabilitation care, the early treatment rate of nasopharyngeal cancer can be as high as 90%. In the early stage of nasopharyngeal cancer, through radiotherapy and comprehensive treatment, more than 90% of patients can be completely cured. The prevention and treatment of nasopharyngeal cancer lies in early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment. In normal times, everyone should change bad eating habits, such as not eating pickled foods and not smoking.
