Guest guest Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 , can you provide any advice on nasopharyngeal carcinoma? The relative of a close friend of mine has this problem and they just don't know what to do. If anyone else has any advice on this condition it would be much appreciated.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 There are few choices. This is a difficult one. The best standard treatment is radiation and this can be greatly enhanced with PARP inhibitors and vit E succinate. I would look into neutron beam also although it is like rolling a bowling ball next to the brain. Many of these cancers are strongly associated with Epstein Barr virus so I would steer away from the arginine cancer therapies. _____ From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Vera Koledin Sent: Wednesday, March 16, 2011 8:09 AM Subject: RE: [ ] Re: Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma , can you provide any advice on nasopharyngeal carcinoma?
