What should I do if my nasopharyngeal cancer is cured and bone metastasis is found during follow-up examination?

For patients with recurrent bone metastasis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, local radiotherapy and combined chemotherapy can be performed according to the patient's physical condition, combined with Chinese medicine conditioning treatment and other comprehensive treatment modes to control the progression of the disease. Attention should also be paid to increasing dietary nutrition and improving the patient's resistance. As for the phenomenon of nasopharyngeal carcinoma metastasizing to the bone, since it has already metastasized, the chance of completely returning to normal is impossible. However, in this case, controlling the pain at this time and then performing radiotherapy can still alleviate some of the pain. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma has already occurred, and bone metastasis cannot be cured.

Can nasopharyngeal cancer be cured in its early stages?

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a malignant tumor of the nasopharynx with a certain recurrence rate, but early nasopharyngeal carcinoma may be clinically cured, so early detection is very important for the patient's prognosis. It is recommended to control the progression of the disease through radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma mainly includes radiotherapy assisted by chemotherapy, targeted therapy or surgical treatment. In the middle and early stages, it is sensitive to radiotherapy, and the 5-year survival rate can reach more than 75%, and it can even be completely cured.

The doctor will take the most appropriate treatment method according to the severity and nature of the lesion. You must have confidence in overcoming the disease, actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, and maintain an optimistic attitude. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma refers to a malignant tumor that occurs on the top and side walls of the nasopharyngeal cavity.
