What are the drugs for the treatment of nasopharyngeal angiofibroma?

Treatments for nasopharyngeal angiofibroma include medication, surgery, and radiotherapy. The specific choice depends on the severity of the disease and the patient's physical condition. Drug treatment can include hormone drugs, anti-angiogenic drugs, and immunomodulators. Surgical treatment includes endoscopic resection, laser resection, and traditional open surgery. Radiotherapy is suitable for patients who are unable to undergo surgery or have recurred.

1. Drug treatment: Hormonal drugs such as prednisone can inhibit tumor growth, anti-angiogenic drugs such as bevacizumab can block tumor angiogenesis, and immunomodulators such as interferon can enhance the body's immune response. Drug treatment is suitable for early or mild patients and should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor, with regular monitoring of drug side effects.

2. Surgical treatment: Endoscopic resection directly removes the tumor through a nasal endoscope, which is less invasive and has a quick recovery; laser resection uses laser to accurately remove the tumor and reduce the risk of bleeding; traditional open surgery is suitable for larger or complex tumors and must be performed under general anesthesia. Surgical treatment should be selected according to the size, location and physical condition of the tumor.

3. Radiotherapy: Suitable for patients who cannot undergo surgery or have recurred disease. It destroys tumor cells through high-energy rays and inhibits tumor growth. Radiotherapy needs to be performed in a professional radiotherapy center. During treatment, radiotherapy reactions and side effects, such as oral mucositis and radiation dermatitis, need to be closely monitored.

The treatment of nasopharyngeal angiofibroma requires comprehensive consideration of the condition, the patient's physical condition, and the advantages and disadvantages of the treatment plan to select the appropriate treatment method. Drug therapy, surgical treatment, and radiotherapy each have their own indications and limitations. Patients should receive personalized treatment under the guidance of professional doctors, undergo regular review, and adjust the treatment plan in a timely manner to obtain the best treatment effect.
