How long advanced-stage patients can live is not a definite number. Some patients may survive for about six months to a year, while others may live for two to three years. The survival period of patients with advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma generally depends primarily on the type of anticancer treatment the patient can receive. However, some patients may extend their survival time through targeted or other specialized treatments. It is recommended that patients seek timely medical care at a hospital.
