关于About this treatment

What the procedure involves.

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is endemic in southern China, making Chinese oncologists the world's foremost experts in its treatment. Decades of experience with thousands of cases have refined radiation techniques (IMRT), concurrent chemotherapy protocols, and immunotherapy integration that achieve cure rates of 80-90% for early-stage disease. No other country has comparable expertise, volume, and outcomes for this specific cancer type.

流程Procedure steps

Step by step.

  1. 01

    MRI Staging & EBV Testing

    Nasopharyngeal MRI, EBV DNA quantification, and PET-CT determine disease stage and prognosis

    Duration · 2-3 days
  2. 02

    Induction Chemotherapy

    Gemcitabine-cisplatin or TPF regimen reduces tumor burden before radiation

    Duration · 2-3 cycles (6-9 weeks)
  3. 03

    Concurrent Chemoradiation

    Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) with concurrent cisplatin — the curative backbone of treatment

    Duration · 6-7 weeks
  4. 04

    Adjuvant Therapy & Monitoring

    EBV DNA monitoring, immunotherapy consideration, and regular MRI/endoscopic surveillance

    Duration · Ongoing 2+ years
Benefits
  • World-leading expertise — China treats more NPC than any other country
  • IMRT precision minimizes damage to surrounding brain and nerve structures
  • 80-90% cure rate for stages I-III
  • EBV DNA monitoring enables early detection of recurrence
Considerations
  • Radiation-induced xerostomia (dry mouth) and taste changes
  • Hearing loss from radiation and cisplatin
  • Cranial nerve damage in advanced cases
  • Late effects including carotid stenosis and secondary cancers
