Can I take medicine for nasopharyngeal cancer? How to treat it?

1. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is one of the most common malignant tumors in China, and is more common in Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan, Fujian, Jiangxi and other provinces in southern China. The incidence rate in men is 2 to 3 times that in women. The age distribution of case reports in China ranges from 3 to 90 years old, but 30 to 50 years old is the high-incidence age range. It often occurs in the nasopharyngeal recess and the anterior wall of the top. The lesions can be nodular, ulcerative, mucosal invasive, etc., and the vast majority are poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinomas. Others may be adenocarcinomas, undifferentiated carcinomas, etc.

2. Drug treatment for nasopharyngeal carcinoma can be divided into chemotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Chemotherapy drugs have a more direct inhibitory effect on cancer, but they also have relatively strong toxic side effects, which will damage the body's immune function and then produce a series of complications, which is not conducive to treatment. At present, traditional Chinese medicine treatment is often combined in clinical practice to improve the patient's immune function and then improve resistance to tumors. Traditional Chinese medicine can also reduce the toxic side effects caused by chemotherapy and make the treatment go smoothly.

3. Chinese medicine treatment can alleviate the toxic and side effects of chemotherapy, improve the effect of chemotherapy, synergize with chemotherapy drugs to improve the treatment effect, alleviate some of the toxic and side effects of chemotherapy, stabilize the number of white blood cells, and improve the patient's appetite.

4. Generally speaking, nasopharyngeal cancer patients can take medication, but the medication situation varies from patient to patient. It is recommended to take medication safely under the guidance of a doctor.
