Treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma

summary

When I spit, there is blood in it, and I can't judge what the situation is. So I went to the hospital for examination. I originally suffered from nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The doctor said that it belongs to the middle stage, and it's best to be hospitalized. Patients with this disease should be treated as soon as possible. Now I'll tell you about the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma

First of all: Patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma can also not do surgery, radiotherapy is the preferred method for the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, because most of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is poorly differentiated, highly sensitive to radiation, and the primary focus and neck lymph drainage area are easy to be included in the radiation field.

Secondly, simple resection is feasible for the patients with single lymph node or recurrent solitary lymph node which are not sensitive to radiotherapy. After local invasive anesthesia, the skin and subcutaneous tissue on the surface of the metastasis were cut, and the metastasis and surrounding normal tissue were completely removed.

Finally: after radiotherapy or chemotherapy, the primary nasopharyngeal carcinoma has been controlled, and the whole body is in good condition, leaving only residual or recurrent lesions in the neck, which is limited in scope and active, so cervical lymph node dissection can be considered.

matters needing attention

Special reminder: you should pay attention to drink more water at ordinary times, because the phenomenon of dry mouth will appear after radiotherapy, so we must ensure that the body needs water, eat more water containing food, you can also use lemon tea to moisten your mouth, or use American ginseng to make tea to drink, and pay attention to oral hygiene before and after meals.
