At present, the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is still mainly based on radiation therapy, the reasons for this are: 1. Therefore, surgery alone is not effective in treating nasopharyngeal cancer; 3. As 95% of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is low differentiation squamous carcinoma, it has high sensitivity to radiation and radiotherapy can easily include the primary lesion and cervical lymph node drainage area in the irradiation field area. The overall five-year survival rate after radiotherapy can be more than 50%; among them, 95% and 78% for stage I and II patients respectively. In addition, the summary of recurrence treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma also shows that re-course radiation therapy still has some therapeutic value.
To sum up, patients with early-stage nasopharyngeal carcinoma should prefer radiation therapy to surgery, chemotherapy, Chinese herbal medicine and X- and R-knife treatment, and should not believe in the so-called “ancestral recipes” of “quacks” and “witch doctors”. Do not believe in those “quacks”, “witch doctors” so-called “ancestral secret recipes”, “partial prescriptions” and other incorrect treatment methods and delay the diagnosis and treatment opportunities. Of course, radiotherapy is a local treatment, and the main reason for the failure of radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal cancer is local recurrence and distant metastasis, thus the integrated application of anti-cancer drug chemotherapy, biological treatment and adjuvant treatment of Chinese medicine can improve the control rate of nasopharyngeal cancer, reduce recurrence and distant metastasis, and thus improve the cure rate.
