How to treat nasopharyngeal cancer?

How is nasopharyngeal cancer treated?

1. After radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the main sequelae of nasopharyngeal carcinoma are rhinitis and pharyngitis. Some patients will develop secretory otitis media, which is caused by pharyngeal adhesion caused by nasopharyngeal carcinoma after radiotherapy, affecting the pharyngeal opening of the Eustachian tube.

2. In terms of treatment, radiotherapy is the main consideration, and some patients need to be combined with adjuvant chemotherapy. Clinically, radiotherapy is the first choice for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. If necessary, adjuvant chemotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine treatment can be performed in a few cases.

Ankylosing spondylitis drug treatment

Drug treatment for ankylosing spondylitis includes the following aspects.

1. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can be used to improve the symptoms of spinal or peripheral joint diseases, whether acute or chronic.

2. There is insufficient evidence to prove that antirheumatic drugs, including sulfasalazine and methotrexate, are effective for axial disease of ankylosing spondylitis. Sulfasalazine can be used for patients with peripheral arthritis. In life, you should pay attention to keeping warm and avoid wind and cold.

This is a disease that requires lifelong treatment. The spine and sacroiliac joints are fused in an extended position, reducing the sequelae of kyphosis.
