Chinese medicine Treatment for Nasopharynx Cancer

Syndrome differentiation and treatment
The pathogenic factors of nasopharyngeal carcinoma are very complicated and related to emotional depression, external attack by pathogenic factors, food injury, and bad hobbies, etc. Its pathological changes are as follows. The visceral dysfunction in transportation causes qi stagnation, blood stasis and phlegm coagulation. In this case, pathogenic fire generated from long-term stagnation and obstruction will be confined inside the body. This state consumes qi and impairs yin. Finally, qi and blood will decline gradually and vital qi will be used up. According to the different pathogeneses, the syndromes of nasopharygeal carcinoma can be classified into phlegm coagulation intermingled with blood stasis, accumulation of pathogenic fire and deficiency of vital qi due to excessive pathogenic factors. The therapeutic methods should be promoting qi flow and removing blood stasis, eliminating phlegm and softening hard masses, purging fire and removing toxin, diminishing swelling and  softening hard masses or strengthening the spleen and tonifying the kidney as well as removing toxin and eliminating hard masses respectively.
