Can nasopharyngeal cancer be cured?

Nasopharyngeal cancer has the possibility to be cured, radiotherapy is the main treatment means, and early nasopharyngeal cancer has the possibility to reach clinical cure after standardized treatment. Nasopharyngeal cancer is a more common malignant tumor of head and neck, and radiation therapy is the main treatment means. If it is early stage nasopharyngeal cancer, it has a higher chance to be cured through standardized treatment. NPC is sensitive to radiotherapy, and radiation has direct killing effect on tumor cells. According to the condition, specific irradiation dose, range and treatment course can be selected, and synchronous chemotherapy can be used when necessary, in order to achieve clinical cure and reduce recurrence and metastasis. However, if it is found late and the disease has already spread and metastasized, the cure rate is very low and the prognosis is relatively poor, so patients should be found early and treated early to improve the cure rate. Nasopharyngeal cancer patients should consult the doctor in time and have standardized treatment under the guidance of professional doctors to avoid delaying the condition.
