After 5 years of nasopharyngeal cancer, the chances of recurrence and metastasis are small, but it does not mean that there will be nothing in the future, and there is still a certain chance of recurrence. Clinically, 5-year survival rate is often used to evaluate the prognosis and long-term treatment effect of tumor, and recurrence and metastasis of malignant tumors mostly occur within 5 years. Most of the nasopharyngeal cancer is low-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma, after 5 years, the possibility of recurrence and metastasis is relatively small, but there is still the possibility of local recurrence and distant metastasis, although relatively small, but still should not be taken lightly. Therefore, after 5 years of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, it is still recommended to adhere to a healthy lifestyle, eat a light, nutritious and easy-to-digest diet, increase physical exercise appropriately, and have regular checkups to monitor the physical condition, and if there is any abnormality, seek medical treatment as soon as possible.
