Can nasopharyngeal cancer be cured? What are the treatments?

What treatments are there?

Whether nasopharyngeal carcinoma can be cured is related to the patient's physical function to a certain extent. Only with good physical function and strong immunity can one resist the development of cancer and tolerate various drug treatments.

1. Patients with early nasopharyngeal carcinoma

It mainly depends on whether appropriate treatment is taken in time. The most important treatment for early nasopharyngeal carcinoma is radiotherapy. The 5-year survival rate after early treatment is over 70%. Since radiotherapy also damages normal cells, it can be combined with traditional Chinese medicine for treatment.

2. Patients with advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma

It mainly depends on whether the treatment method is appropriate and the patient's physical condition. The main treatment methods for middle and late stage nasopharyngeal carcinoma are radiotherapy, chemotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine. Radiotherapy is still the first choice for the treatment of middle and late stage nasopharyngeal carcinoma. It has a more direct killing effect on cancer cells, but it will also cause damage to normal cells. The dose, irradiation range and number of irradiation courses should be carefully selected according to the scope of the lesion and human body function.
