Which one is more effective in treating nasopharyngeal cancer, Taiwan proton therapy or traditional radiotherapy?
In nasopharyngeal cancer treatment, radiation therapy is a common treatment method, and Taiwan proton therapy is a new method for many patients to treat nasopharyngeal cancer nowadays. For patients who cannot bear the risk of surgery, but the lesions are concentrated and surrounded by vital organs that sustain life, so the traditional treatment is naturally not applicable. Proton therapy in Taiwan can be used to obtain a localized control rate similar to that of open surgery, while further reducing the possible side effects of radiotherapy. In recent years, there are a lot of mainland tumor patients going to Taiwan for proton therapy. Patients going to Taiwan for medical treatment are likely to face more difficult problems if they are not familiar with Taiwan hospitals, transportation, and doctors. Choosing a professional medical institution to go to Taiwan for medical treatment can provide detailed pre-trip guidance for patients to go to Taiwan for medical treatment, and help them all to go to Taiwan for medical treatment smoothly.
