Can nasopharyngeal cancer be treated properly?

Agony of patients with nasopharyngeal cancer: missing the best treatment time due to long waiting time in the government hospital? Denied admission by certain hospitals for being too sick? Fuda Cancer Hospital can help! We feature minimally invasive therapy and specialize in the treatment of early, intermediate and advanced cancer.

Traditional surgery: unsuitable for patients with advanced nasopharyngeal cancer due to large trauma. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy is a common treatment but its toxic and side effects, such as hair loss and vomiting do great harm to human body.

The latest anti-cancer treatments: great improvement of survival rate, low risk, minimum side effects, low recurrence rate and no need for surgery, which can reduce the physical damage and thus are more suitable for frail patients with advanced cancer.

An advanced nasopharyngeal cancer patient gains high life quality in Fuda

Mr. Guo, an advanced nasopharyngeal cancer patient from Guangzhou, China

On September 10, 2018, Mr. Guo was admitted to Fuda Cancer Hospital (Fuda) because of nasopharyngeal cancer and he was suggested to do local interventional and intravenous chemotherapy because of large tumor in right side of neck and rich nerves and aorta in tumor.

After the first chemotherapy, Mr. Guo did not have much hope but he unexpectedly found that the tumor in the neck gradually became smaller. On October 3, 2018, Mr. Guo returned to Fuda for the second chemotherapy. During this visit, he was happier than before. Mr. Guo now can eat well, sleep soundly and speak clearly and loudly, and his right hand has recovered, which makes him much happier. Click here to read his anti-cancer story.

Classification of nasopharyngeal carcinoma:

The World Health Organization (WHO) divides nasopharyngeal carcinoma into three types: keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma, nonkeratinizing squamous cell carcinoma and basal squamous cell carcinoma. In Southeast Asia, where the incidence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is high, non-keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma is the main pathological manifestation.

Staging and treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma

(The treatment plan for each stage of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is for reference only and cannot be used as the sole basis for clinical treatment)

Stage 0 of nasopharyngeal carcinoma: Tis (carcinoma in situ), stage N0, stage M0—the cancer cells are only in the surface layer of the nasopharynx;
Phase 0 treatment plan: surgical resection, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy

Stage I nasopharyngeal carcinoma: T1, N0, M0—the tumor is in the nasopharynx and may have spread to the soft tissues of the nasal cavity or oropharynx;
Phase I treatment plan: interventional therapy, particle implantation therapy, nano-knife, gene-targeted therapy, integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, minimally invasive targeting

Stage II nasopharyngeal carcinoma: T1-T2, N0~N1, M0—the tumor develops into the upper throat tissue, accompanied by the spread of nearby lymph nodes;
Phase II treatment plan: interventional therapy, cryotherapy, particle implantation therapy, nano-knife, gene-targeted therapy, integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, minimally invasive targeting

Stage III nasopharyngeal carcinoma: T1-T3, N0-N2, M0—the tumor has spread to the nasopharynx near the sinuses or bones;
Phase III treatment plan: interventional therapy, cryotherapy, particle implantation therapy, nano-knife, gene-targeted therapy, integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, minimally invasive targeting

•Stage IV nasopharyngeal carcinoma: any T stage, any N stage, M0-M1 stage - metastasis to distant organs, growing into the skull or cranial nerves, hypopharynx, eyes;
Phase IV treatment plan: interventional therapy, cryotherapy, particle implantation therapy, nano-knife, gene-targeted therapy, integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, minimally invasive targeted therapy

Care and diet for nasopharyngeal carcinoma

(1) It is advisable to eat more foods that have anti-nasopharyngeal tumor effects, such as taro, konjac, kiwi fruit, snake meat, figs, sharks, asparagus, reed root, etc.

(2) Smoking, alcohol, and spicy foods are strictly prohibited. If there is a tendency to bleed, temporarily prohibit hot foods, such as mutton, peppers, leeks, onions, garlic, etc.
