What to do if nasopharyngeal carcinoma has bone metastasis?

Bone metastasis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma can be treated with targeted drugs, immunosuppressants, radiotherapy, etc., as follows:

1. Use targeted drugs:

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a more common clinical malignant tumor disease. The cause may be related to genetic factors or long-term smoking. If the disease is not treated in the early stage or in time with the doctor, the disease may enter the late stage. At this time, cancer cells may invade the bones and cause bone metastasis. If the lesion is limited, targeted drug treatment can be used under the guidance of a doctor. Common drugs usually include gefitinib tablets, lenvatinib mesylate capsules, erlotinib hydrochloride tablets, etc., which can not only effectively kill cancer cells, but also generally do not affect healthy tissues.

2. Use of immunosuppressants:

If the body's resistance is seriously reduced, immunosuppressants can be used for treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Common drugs usually include cyclosporine soft capsules, azathioprine tablets, methotrexate tablets, etc.

3. Radiotherapy:

If necessary, radiotherapy can be performed under the guidance of a doctor. Radiation is produced during radiotherapy. Radiation can directly act on lesions and kill cancer cells, thereby controlling the disease and reducing the pain of patients after treatment.

In addition to the common treatments mentioned above, chemotherapy can also be used for treatment. Common chemotherapy drugs usually include paclitaxel injection, capecitabine tablets, cisplatin injection, etc.
