Can nasopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma be cured?

Nasopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma can generally be cured in the early stages. If the diagnosis is early, we must actively treat it. The cure rate of radiotherapy is relatively high, but if it develops to the middle and late stages, we can choose radiotherapy and chemotherapy, or comprehensive treatment to control the development of the disease.

Since nasopharyngeal carcinoma is more sensitive to radiotherapy, radiotherapy is also the first choice for radical treatment. Early nasopharyngeal carcinoma can be cured by radiotherapy. When receiving radiotherapy, radiation-induced caries and radiation-induced otitis media should be avoided.

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is related to genetic factors, environmental factors, EB and viral infection.
