There are many factors affecting the survival of patients with advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma, including clinical stage, pathological typing, treatment effect, general condition of patients, etc. No specific reports have been made to determine the specific survival time.
Advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma refers to the late stage of tumor or lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis, and generally there is no chance of surgery; some patients can be surgically resected after radiotherapy to reduce the stage, and the prognosis is better than those without surgery. The pathological classification of nasopharyngeal carcinoma includes squamous carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, undifferentiated carcinoma, etc. Adenocarcinoma and undifferentiated carcinoma have higher malignancy, early metastasis, poorer prognosis and shorter survival time. Patients with advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma are generally treated in a comprehensive manner. If the treatment effect is good, the survival period is relatively long, but if the patient cannot tolerate radiotherapy, the survival period is shorter.
Patients with advanced nasopharyngeal cancer should be treated actively to improve their life treatment and prolong their survival period as much as possible.
