summary

Some time ago, I caught a cold and had a stuffy nose all the time, but I still didn't get better after I got a good cold. After going to the hospital for examination, the doctor said that I was suffering from the deterioration of the disease. I'm very worried about this. Now I'll introduce to you whether nasopharyngeal carcinoma can be used as a stent.

Can nasopharyngeal carcinoma do stent

Objective: to develop a kind of stent for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) brachytherapy, which can not only ensure the tumor control rate, but also reduce the probability of normal tissue complications to an acceptable range.

Second: NiTi alloy stent is widely used in clinic. The metal stent made of this material can automatically restore the shape of the stent and has a certain supporting force under the condition of human body temperature. Clinical studies have shown that from the perspective of prognosis and complications, there is no difference between 103Pd and 125I brachytherapy for all types of patients, so which radionuclide should be used.

Third: the American Society for brachytherapy (ABS) has no opinion, but it suggests that further study should be done on the efficacy of 103Pd and 125I. Brachytherapy is not a new method for lumen tumors. 103Pd or 125I covered stent implantation is an ideal choice for patients with limited lumen tumor who have been screened and met the conditions.

matters needing attention

In fact, there is not only one method of treatment, not the most direct method is to carry out surgical treatment, the more serious patients may not even have the effect of surgical treatment, so the key is to see a doctor to diagnose the condition, and then choose the treatment method.
