Cancer is the most horrible disease in this world, and cancer is a great threat to life. Nasopharyngeal cancer is also one of the malignant tumor diseases, which can seriously endanger our health and life, so what is the cure rate of nasopharyngeal cancer?
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a common cancer that occurs in the prime of life between 40 and 50 years old.
The treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is mainly based on radiation therapy. Early stage (stage I and II) radiation therapy alone has good results and the five-year survival rate can reach more than 80%; advanced stage (stage III and IV) or recurrence patients may need to use chemotherapy and radiation therapy, and the five-year survival rate can be more than 30-50%.
Except for a few patients with remote metastases at the beginning of treatment, whose disease is difficult to control, nasopharyngeal cancer is not a terminal disease and can be controlled and cured. After regular treatment, most patients can recover and return to work.
