NPC metastasized to lungs cannot be cured in general, but after systematic treatment, patients can control the disease locally and prolong their survival time. Usually, when nasopharyngeal cancer metastasized to lungs, the condition has developed to middle or late stage, in this case, patients should strictly follow the doctor’s instruction to carry out radiotherapy and chemotherapy, which can achieve better treatment effect, and part of the patients need to carry out targeted therapy, so as to improve the therapeutic effect. However, even after systematic treatment, patients with middle or late stage nasopharyngeal cancer can only control the condition locally, which prolongs the survival time of the patients and cannot cure them. Patients need to take timely targeted treatment after clear diagnosis of nasopharyngeal cancer, and if it has already metastasized to the lungs, they need to actively cooperate with doctors to carry out relevant treatments to prolong the survival time. And patients should pay more attention to their own care and ensure a good mindset, which is helpful for prolonging the survival time.
