Now more and more patients are suffering from nasopharyngeal cancer. So, will young people get nasopharyngeal cancer? How to prevent nasopharyngeal cancer?

The incidence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is very high in southern China, especially in Guangzhou. The prevention and treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma should change bad living habits as soon as possible and discover the symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The characteristic of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is that the incidence rate in men is higher than that in women. It can occur in all age groups, but the incidence rate is higher in 45-60 years old.

To prevent nasopharyngeal cancer, you should pay attention to avoid Epstein-Barr virus infection. Patients with Epstein-Barr virus infection have a high risk of nasopharyngeal cancer, and the infection rate is positively correlated with the incidence of nasopharyngeal cancer. In areas with a high incidence of nasopharyngeal cancer, Epstein-Barr virus infection is not only widespread, but also infected at a very young age. Therefore, Epstein-Barr virus infection should be prevented and treated early; pay attention to diet structure and living habits. Eat less or no salted fish, meat and other foods containing a large amount of nitrosocyanate compounds. Do not eat foods with high metal content. Eat more foods containing a lot of vitamins, such as fruits and vegetables. Do not smoke or drink.

In daily life, you can eat more corn to prevent nasopharyngeal cancer. Corn can not only prevent and treat diseases such as hypertension, arteriosclerosis, urinary stones, but also has anti-cancer effects.

The glutathione in corn forms glutathione oxidase with the participation of selenium, which also inactivates chemical carcinogens.

Patients with nasopharyngeal cancer should try to avoid inhaling harmful fumes from kerosene lamps, pesticides, etc., and actively quit smoking and drinking. This is also one of the nursing measures for nasopharyngeal cancer.
