Three year survival rate of advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma

summary

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a malignant tumor occurring on the top and side walls of nasopharynx. Incidence rate is high. Most patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma will receive radiotherapy. It is the first choice for treating nasopharyngeal carcinoma. So, what is the 3-year survival rate of NPC patients? Now I'd like to share my personal experience with you.

Three year survival rate of advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma

First, there are many causes of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. For example, more than 90% of people in our country were infected with EB virus when they were young, and EB virus is closely related to nasopharyngeal carcinoma. According to statistics, the mortality rate of nasopharyngeal carcinoma in Chinese emigrants gradually decreases with the genetic generation, but the risk of nasopharyngeal carcinoma in Caucasians born in Southeast Asia has increased, which indicates that the risk of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is different due to different environmental factors.

Second: there are also some foods that can cause nasopharyngeal carcinoma, such as often eating salted fish, bacon, pickles and other foods. These foods contain a lot of nitrite, a certain amount of nitrosamines and a variety of compounds, which are easy to cause nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) usually occurs in yellow race, but rarely in white race. NPC patients often have obvious family history.

Third: the survival time of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma is different, mainly depends on the discovery of the disease sooner or later. Generally speaking, the 5-year survival rate of patients with early nasopharyngeal carcinoma is as high as 80-90%, while the 5-year survival rate of patients with advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma is only 40-50%. Therefore, if nasopharyngeal carcinoma can be found early, it can be diagnosed and treated in time, and a long survival period can be obtained.
