How to check and treat nasopharyngeal carcinoma

What are the treatment and examination methods for nasopharyngeal carcinoma?

Treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma: 1. Radiotherapy.

Many nasopharyngeal cancer patients prefer to use radiotherapy, because the light is very sensitive to the disease and the irradiation range is relatively wide, so the cancer and the lymphatic drainage area of ​​the neck can be clearly irradiated. Small-field irradiation of the nasopharynx and neck can effectively reduce the toxic side effects and significantly improve the cure of the disease.

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma treatment 2. Surgical treatment.

The surgical treatment method is to completely remove the primary lesion of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, which is suitable for patients in the early stages of the disease. This method can also be chosen when patients have recurrent attacks after radiotherapy. Patients who have a good effect after radiotherapy can undergo surgical resection after rest and adjustment.

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma treatment 3. Chemotherapy.

Chemotherapy is an adjuvant therapy after surgery or radiation therapy, and has an auxiliary effect. Chemotherapy before radiotherapy can increase the sensitivity of the group to drugs and have a more significant therapeutic effect. It is suitable for patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma who have obvious lymph node metastasis, and can also be used for patients with suspected metastasis.
