The location of nasopharyngeal cancer is relatively deep and surgery is not recommended as the main treatment method. For those who cannot tolerate radiotherapy and those who are contraindicated to radiotherapy, the treatment method is mainly based on surgery combined with chemotherapy. The specific survival time is related to the stage of the disease, as follows: 1. Early stage nasopharyngeal cancer: the survival rate of 5 years is generally above 90%; 2. Advanced stage nasopharyngeal cancer: if liver, lung or intracranial metastases appear, the prognosis is generally worse, and the survival period is about 1.5 to 2 years.
