What is the incidence rate of nasopharyngeal carcinoma?

What is the incidence rate of nasopharyngeal cancer?

1. In Guangdong and Guangxi regions of my country, the incidence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma can reach one in a thousand, but it is not high in other places. It may be related to the nasopharyngeal Epstein-Barr virus. Therefore, it is recommended to check the virus early. If positive, regular re-examination is required.

2. If you are diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer, you should actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment. If nasopharyngeal cancer is in the early stage, radiotherapy is the first choice. The effect of radiotherapy is relatively good, and most patients have a good prognosis. If it is in the middle or late stage and has spread, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are needed. The incidence of nasopharyngeal cancer varies across the country.

Can malignant nasopharyngeal carcinoma be cured?

Malignant nasopharyngeal cancer may not be cured. It varies from person to person. The treatment effects are different for different physical conditions. During the illness, you must actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment to control the disease and prolong your life. You can drink chicken soup appropriately to regulate your body, but you should not eat too much and increase the gastrointestinal burden to avoid excessive fat. Drinking chicken soup helps expel the virus from the body.

If nasopharyngeal carcinoma is discovered late, has invaded surrounding tissues, and has metastasized throughout the body, it is difficult to treat and the prognosis is not particularly good. So, to be precise, nasopharyngeal carcinoma is not the mildest cancer. Radiotherapy is the first choice for the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
