Nasopharyngeal carcinoma staging and treatment methods

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma staging and treatment

1. From a medical point of view, nasopharyngeal carcinoma is divided into four stages. In the first stage, the cancer cells are only present in the nasal cavity and in the second stage, the cancer cells have obvious fixed lymph nodes and have not metastasized to other places.

2. The third stage is when cancer cells invade the nasal tissues and nerves. The active lymph nodes in the neck and the fourth stage are cancer cells. They exist not only in the nasal cavity, but also in the pharynx, and can extend to the base of the skull, and the lymph nodes have distant metastasis.

3. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is often divided into four stages. Stages 1, 2, 3 and 4 are classified as early or early nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and stages 3 and 4 are called locally advanced or locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma. According to different situations, TNM staging can divide nasopharyngeal carcinoma into the following four stages: Stage 1 is the earliest stage.
