I have had failures and even treatment deficiencies in the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, but I am constantly summing up my experience and learning the latest treatment advances. The following is a little bit of clinical treatment experience, which is expected to bring some benefits to patients.
Regardless of the stage of nasopharyngeal cancer, the key to treatment is the first treatment.
Failure to give the best treatment plan and treatment mode in the first treatment will greatly increase the risk of recurrence and metastasis. Therefore, patients should be treated as intensively as physically possible during the first treatment in the hope of minimizing the risk of recurrence and metastasis.
Radical radiotherapy can be given directly to stage I patients, but these patients are rare! For stage II patients, simultaneous radiotherapy can be administered directly, with additional induction chemotherapy if necessary, depending on the degree of differentiation of the cancer cells. For stage III~IVa-b patients, induction chemotherapy should be given high priority, and two-drug combination or three-drug combination regimens should be given as much as possible, and two-drug combination regimens should be given for synchronous chemotherapy. Chinese medicine must be used flexibly, especially in reducing oral mucosal reactions and mucosal infections, which can play a relatively good role. There is no need to fear toxic types of Chinese medicine, which are still very safe when used with caution and decocted strictly according to medical advice. Decoct your own herbal medicine whenever possible. At the same time, herbal medicine is used to regulate the body and enhance or constitution as much as possible to help patients successfully complete radiotherapy and further increase the efficacy of treatment.
