What is the incidence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and how to treat it

How common is nasopharyngeal cancer? How is it treated?

1. The incidence of nasopharyngeal cancer is getting higher and higher now, because with the acceleration of my country's industrialization process, environmental pollution is becoming more and more serious. The environmental pollution caused by industrialization is difficult to change in the short term. Although this is an irresistible factor, young people, especially construction workers, should try to avoid these adverse effects and not inhale too much harmful gases and dust. Pay attention to your health, treat your stomach well, pay attention to food hygiene in life, improve your self-care awareness, give up bad living habits, and eat regularly, quantitatively, reasonably and balanced.

2. The treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma includes radiotherapy, surgical treatment, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, etc. Radiotherapy is considered to be the first choice for the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The vast majority of nasopharyngeal carcinomas are poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinomas, which are more sensitive to radiotherapy. Radical radiotherapy can be used for early and mid-stage cases, and palliative radiotherapy can be appropriately combined with advanced cases. Chemotherapy has a certain short-term effect on nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy are often used for patients in the middle and late stages, such as new adjuvant chemotherapy, simultaneous radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and adjuvant chemotherapy. Late-stage cases with distant metastasis are mainly treated with chemotherapy. Common chemotherapy regimens include PF and CF5-FUDDP, with an effective rate of about 90%.
