What is wrong with nasopharyngeal cancer? What should I do?

Nasopharyngeal cancer is generally caused by dietary factors, environmental factors, Epstein-Barr virus infection and other reasons. Clinically, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, surgery and other treatments are generally used. Once the patient has symptoms such as hearing loss, facial numbness, and loss of smell, he needs to seek medical attention in time.

1. Dietary factors: Generally refers to long-term and large-scale intake of preserved foods such as bacon, salted fish, pickles, etc., which may produce carcinogens such as nitrites during the production process and induce nasopharyngeal cancer. Patients can choose radiotherapy under the guidance of a doctor, which can usually cure patients with early nasopharyngeal cancer.

2. Environmental factors: A large amount of data shows that water and food in areas with a high incidence of nasopharyngeal cancer contain a large amount of nickel, and a large number of animal experiments have shown that nickel can induce nasopharyngeal cancer. Confirmed patients can use paclitaxel injection, carboplatin injection, nimustine hydrochloride injection and other drugs for chemotherapy under the guidance of doctors.

3. EB virus infection: It is usually transmitted through oral epithelial cells and integrated into human DNA, which can effectively prevent apoptosis of infected cells and cause nasopharyngeal cancer. Under the guidance of a doctor, nasopharyngeal cancer resection, neck lymph node cleaning, and lateral neck approach resection can be selected.

In addition to the above reasons, it may also be caused by genetic factors and other reasons, which can be improved through molecular targeted therapy. Patients need to try to quit smoking and limit alcohol, maintain a good attitude, and do some appropriate exercise to improve their resistance.
