Is stem cell transplantation effective for nasopharyngeal carcinoma? How is it treated?

1. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is one of the most common tumors in my country, with Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan, Fujian and other provinces being the most common areas. The incidence rate in men is 2-3 times that in women, and the age group with the highest incidence is 40-50 years old. In daily life, people should try to avoid being exposed to heavily polluted external air environments. Because the nasopharynx is the only way for external air to enter the lungs, harmful gases will first invade the nasopharynx before entering the lungs.

2. There are many ways to treat nasopharyngeal carcinoma, such as biological therapy. The difference between it and other therapies is that it can help the body restore its ability to fight against tumor cells, mobilize the body's immune function to the maximum extent, reduce the number of residual tumor cells in the body as much as possible, reduce the recurrence of malignant tumors, and thus prolong the patient's survival time.

There are many drugs with anti-tumor effects in traditional Chinese medicine theory: Cordyceps sinensis, Panax notoginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, etc. Among them, the main active ingredient of Cordyceps sinensis is cordycepin, which has many effects such as regulating immune system function, anti-tumor, anti-fatigue, tonifying lung and kidney, stopping bleeding and resolving phlegm, retaining essence and replenishing qi, etc. Traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions are also effective for nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
