How much does it cost to diagnose nasopharyngeal cancer and how to treat it

How much does it cost to diagnose nasopharyngeal cancer? How is it treated?

1. Depending on the hospital, the diagnosis method is different and the cost is also different. Generally speaking, the cost of diagnosing nasopharyngeal cancer is not very expensive, but the cost of treatment after diagnosis is very expensive. You must take care measures in your life to avoid nasopharyngeal cancer.

2. Radiotherapy can be used to treat nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma can kill tumor cells, but normal tissues or organs will inevitably produce radiation reactions. The radiation reaction is closely related to the dose, range, course of treatment, and tolerance of normal tissues or organs. The cost of radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma will not be very low because it requires regular treatment.

3. Chemotherapy is also a good choice for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. More than 95% of nasopharyngeal carcinomas that are treated with chemotherapy are poorly differentiated and undifferentiated cancers, which are highly malignant, grow rapidly, and are prone to lymph node or vascular metastasis. 75% of nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients have been diagnosed with stage III and IV. The later the disease stage, the greater the chance of distant metastasis and the worse the prognosis. Radiotherapy is a local treatment method that cannot prevent distant metastasis. Chemical substances or combined treatments of multiple drugs may shrink tumors or eliminate small lesions and improve the treatment effect.
