Nasopharynx cancer (npc)! my father has npc second stage. is there a cure? what are his odds of survival?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Good: Nasopharynx cancer is easily treated. In second stage therei are cervical lymph nodes but when high in neck it is easy to encompass a field where the pharyngeal lesion is hit by cross RT beams and the neck also treated with RT. Chemo is then given which in most instances is successful. Surgery most of the time is not indicated.
