The five-year survival rate of nasopharyngeal cancer bone metastasis is 10%~50%, which needs to be determined by the combination of metastasis, site, treatment and patient’s own condition.
NPC bone metastasis mostly occurs in the advanced stage, which is relatively serious, difficult to treat and with low cure rate. Clinically speaking, its five-year survival rate is between 10%~50%, which depends on the site of bone metastasis, metastasis, treatment and patient’s own condition, and it is not completely fixed.
If the patient only has bone metastasis in a single site, the tumor can be removed through surgery if found in time, so as to alleviate the condition and prolong the survival cycle; however, if the metastasis is in multiple and dangerous sites, such as spine, ribs, intracranial and other sites, the survival rate is even lower, which is only about 10% or even lower.
Nasopharyngeal cancer bone metastasis suggests timely consultation and choosing appropriate treatment plan under doctor’s guidance to prolong the survival period and alleviate the pain.
