Urgent! What is the most serious condition of nasal cancer?

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a common malignant tumor, especially in southern China (Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan), which is the most common. It is more common in the middle-aged male population. There are many studies on the cause of its pathogenesis, but it has not been fully identified so far, and it may be related to genetics, Epstein-Barr virus infection, environmental chemical carcinogenic factors, etc.

Symptoms Because the location of the nasopharynx is hidden, it is not easy to examine, and the early symptoms of nasopharyngeal cancer are complex and lack characteristics, so it is easy to be ignored and delay the diagnosis and **, so it is necessary to be vigilant. Common symptoms are:

Bleeding: Mainly blood in the posterior nasal ligament, or bloody nasal discharge. At the beginning, it is often a small amount of blood, which is easy to be ignored, and when the amount of bleeding is large, the lesion is often in the middle or advanced stage.

Headache: Headache may occur in the early stage, and it is mostly sideways, intermittent; In the later stages, there is a persistent severe headache, which is easily mistaken for a nervous migraine.

Swollen cervical lymph nodes: a lump appears on one or both sides of the neck, which is incompetent, hard, and has poor mobility, and is often mistaken for lymph node tuberculosis or lymphadenitis.

Other symptoms: In addition to one or all of the above symptoms, symptoms such as nasal congestion, ear closure, tinnitus, numbness, diplopia, and sagging may also occur. Advanced cancer is prone to intracranial invasion and distant metastasis to bone, liver, lung, etc.

Diagnosis Nasopharyngoscopy is the most effective and reliable method for detecting pain and swelling, and the final diagnosis is confirmed by biopsy sections. Epstein-Barr virus serology is useful for early detection. Liver-spleen ultrasonography, chest, skull base**, or CT scan are useful to understand the extent of lesion invasion and whether there is distant metastasis.

** Radiation is the main** method, and anti-cancer drugs can be used together; Lumps that do not resolve from radiation therapy may be considered for surgery or others**.

Excerpt from Health.com.

1. For nasal cavity cancer alone, the most serious is the rotten nose (so serious that the nose is not there), which affects breathing. Unable to breathe normally, it is life-threatening at any time, which goes without saying.

2. Even if you can breathe and not die, but there is no role of the nose, many germs can directly enter the human body unimpeded, which leads to the emergence of various diseases, and the direct damage to the lungs is even more serious.

3. Finally, it should be said that any cancer has a certain ability to spread, infect, metastasize, and then worsen and spread in the patient's body. In other words, nasal cavity cancer can lead to lung cancer, throat cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, ......and so on for the birth of all cancers. Those cancers correspond directly to the corresponding organs.

Without further ado, other cancers continue to further harm the patient's body just like nasal cancer.

A rotten nose and a painful death.

Nose cancer (nasopharyngeal cancer) is a tumor lesion that occurs in the nose and throat, China is one of the countries with a high incidence of nose cancer, and the incidence rate of nose cancer in southern China is higher than that in the north, especially in Guangxi, Guangdong, Fujian, Hunan and other provinces, which can reach 15 100,000 30 100,000. The survey found that nose cancer is difficult for patients to detect on their own, and even if some symptoms are found when they go to the hospital for examination, 80% of them are at an advanced stage.

Generally**There are: genetic factors, dietary factors, environmental factors, Epstein-Barr virus infection, etc.

Diagnosis: Nasopharyngoscopy is the most effective and reliable way to detect nasal cancer (tumor), and the final diagnosis is made by biopsy sections. Viral serology facilitates early detection.

Liver and spleen ultrasonography, chest, skull base**, or CT scan are useful to understand the extent of lesion invasion and whether there is distant metastasis.

Methods for nasal cancer include radiation, traditional Chinese medicine, surgery, and immunology.

**The effect mainly depends on the stage of the disease, the degree of development, the patient's physique and many other factors. However, the effect of head and neck tumors** is generally good, and it cannot be calculated as a percentage, and the clinical survival period is generally measured by 5 years.

I have been working in the oncology department for many years, and it is unlikely that it is malignant (commonly known as cancer)**, but there are many cases of nasopharyngeal carcinoma diagnosed at present, and the methods and means are changing with each passing day. Diagnose clearly first, and then talk about other things, things are man-made, everything has a way, and I believe in the power of professionalism.
