Can nasopharyngeal carcinoma cervical lymph node metastasis be cured?

1. When nasopharyngeal carcinoma metastasizes to the cervical lymph nodes, it is generally incurable and difficult to treat because the disease has already developed to the late stage when it metastasizes and the patient's symptoms are already serious. Although the cure rate in the late stage is not high, patients must maintain their confidence in fighting the disease, adjust their mental state, fully cooperate with doctors for treatment, enhance their resistance, and increase the probability of cure.

2. The cervical lymph node metastasis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients is mostly due to the metastasis of the disease in a process, and the condition of these patients is more important. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is prone to lymph node metastasis.

What virus causes nasopharyngeal cancer?

The occurrence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is significantly correlated with Epstein-Barr virus infection. Since Epstein-Barr virus antibodies can be detected in the serum of nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients in the early stages, Epstein-Barr virus is considered a serological indicator for early screening of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Epstein-Barr virus infection is not the only cause of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The occurrence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is often affected by family genetic factors and some regional factors.

Epstein-Barr virus carriers: Epstein-Barr virus infection has been confirmed to be a high-risk factor for nasopharyngeal tumors, and carriers have a higher risk of disease than other people.
