How can we distinguish the early symptoms of sinus cancer?

Sinus cancer refers to malignant tumors that occur in the sinuses of the body, and in general, most patients are between the ages of 50 and 60, and the incidence rate of men is higher than that of women. Like other tumors, the tumor of sinus cancer will continue to spread until the lesion threatens the patient's life, so once the tumor of sinus cancer is found, it must be detected early.

1. Nasal congestion. Sinus cancer does not have much symptoms at first, but can cause nasal congestion, the most common being a one-sided nasal blockage, which makes people feel like a cold, and you may also see blood in the nasal discharge. Therefore, if a patient finds that his nose is blocked for a long time, he must go to the hospital in time to check what causes the nasal congestion.

2. When sinus cancer tumors, the patient's mouth will have symptoms of toothache and gum edema, and when the tumor moves upward, the eyeball will be pushed, and the patient may have the symptom of a slight outward protrusion of the eyeball, and the white eyeball under the eye will become particularly conspicuous. The patient's life can be so severely affected that they can't even open their mouth, which often causes toothaches and headaches.

3. The most common symptom of sinus cancer is the throat of the patient, which may have bloody sputum. This metabolized sugar may be excretion in the nasopharynx, may occur in the nasal discharge, and may also cause a chronic cough. When the patient has a conversation, it is necessary to pay attention to it and go to the hospital in time.

4. When the tumor develops to an advanced stage, it will gradually enlarge, so that part of the bone in the body will be crushed. Depending on the direction of the tumor's enlargement, patients will often have nasal congestion and will have a thick nasal discharge. When the tumor moves outward, the patient will experience puffiness of the cheeks.

To sum up, the symptoms of sinus cancer in the early stage are not certain, sometimes even no symptoms, once the onset of the disease, it means that the tumor has spread, at this time the patient must be warned in advance to inhibit the spread of the disease.

Early symptoms are a series of symptoms such as difficulty breathing, nasal congestion, runny nose, and dizziness. If you have such symptoms, you can be sure that it is early-stage sinus cancer.

Sinus cancer is mostly asymptomatic in the early stage, but soon after the lesion, the tumor gradually enlarges and the bone is destroyed, and it can show unique symptoms depending on the direction of expansion. When the tumor progresses medially, that is, in the direction of the nasal cavity, it can often cause nasal congestion, nasal discharge of blood and pus, and tearing caused by blocked tear ducts. When the tumor progresses anteriorly and laterally, facial edema may occur; As it progresses downward, toothache and gum edema may occur; When the tumor progresses upward, the eyeball may protrude slightly due to the eyeball being pushed, and the white eyeball under the eyeball becomes particularly conspicuous; As you progress backwards, the nerves become compressed, causing frequent toothaches and headaches, and the inability to even open your mouth.

The early symptoms of sinus cancer are as follows:

1. Nose: unilateral nasal congestion, purulent nasal discharge, and new organisms can be seen in the nasal cavity;

2. Oropharynx: loose teeth, loss of teeth, lumps in the soft palate, dental nerve pain;

3. Eyes: protrusion and discomfort in one eye;

4. Unilateral facial swelling, nasolabial folds disappearing, and difficulty opening the mouth;

5. Some patients may also have headache, dizziness, deafness and other central nervous system symptoms and even neck masses in the early stage.

Early symptoms of nasal sinus cancer.

1.Nasal congestion: The nose is a respiratory and ventilation organ, and there are tumors in the nasal cavity that occupy the airways in the early stage, and nasal breathing is the first to appear, and as the tumor grows, nasal ventilation gradually becomes unsmooth.

2.Bloody nasal discharge: Patients over the age of 40 who often have a small amount of bleeding in the nasal cavity or have blood or bloody pus in the nasal discharge, especially with a certain odor, should be diagnosed and treated by early medical treatment, which is also an early symptom of sinus cancer.

3.Facial numbness, pain, loosening, loss of upper teeth. For cancerous tumors that occur in the maxillary sinus, patients may have facial numbness or ant walking sensation, unexplained upper tooth pain, or loss in the early stage.

If an abnormality is found, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time, so as to detect it early, as soon as possible!

Because the maxillary sinus is surrounded by bone, even if cancer occurs, it is not easy to see from the surface. Most of the early stages of the lesion are asymptomatic.

Soon after the lesion, the tumor gradually enlarges and the bone is destroyed, which can show characteristic symptoms depending on the direction of its expansion.

When the tumour progresses medially, in the direction of the nasal cavity, it often causes nasal congestion, blood-pus-filled nasal discharge, and lacrimation due to blocked tear ducts.

When the tumor progresses anteriorly and laterally, puffiness of the cheeks may occur. As it progresses downward, toothache and gum edema occur.

In addition, when the tumor progresses upwards, the eyeball may protrude slightly due to the push of the eyeball, and the white eyeball under the eyeball may become particularly conspicuous. As you progress backwards, the nerves become compressed, causing frequent toothaches and headaches, and you can't even open your mouth wide.

You can go to an otolaryngology department or a head and neck department (in a cancer hospital).

Prevalence features of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a head and neck tumor with a high degree of malignancy. The incidence varies greatly by region, ethnicity, and age. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is mainly found in Southeast Asia, especially in southern China (such as Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Hunan, Jiangxi, etc.), with a high incidence in yellow people and rare in white and black people.

In Guangdong Province, China, the incidence of Guangzhou dialect is significantly higher than that of people with Hokkien and Hakka dialects. Its incidence begins to rise rapidly at the age of 30 and peaks at the age of 50 to 59. Males are predominant, with a male-to-female ratio of 2:

Early signs of nasal cavity cancer.

1. The early signs of nasal cavity cancer include long-term persistent nasal congestion on one side, progressive aggravation, and a large amount of foul-smelling nasal discharge.

2. Frequent blood or nosebleeds in recent nasal discharge, frequent bleeding from nasal polyps, facial headache and numbness, or pain or loosening of teeth grinding, and sometimes pus between teeth are all early signs of nasal cancer.

3. The early sign of nasal cavity cancer is from intermittent headache to continuous aggravation, and then the original nasal disease appears trigeminal neuralgia and unexplained facial muscle spasm.

4. Sudden loss of smell, foreign body sensation in breathing, persistent blepharospasm, or tearfulness, or ectopic eyeball are also early signs of nasal cancer.

5. The early signs of nasal cavity cancer also include sudden unilateral hearing and vision loss.

The above content is the early signal of nasal cavity cancer introduced by experts, you should pay attention to it, I hope it can help you, if you have other questions about the early signal of nasal cavity cancer, please consult ** experts, experts will give you detailed answers.

1 Cranial nerve symptoms: the tumor spreads to the cranial through the rupture hole, often invades the cranial nerve first, and in addition to headache, facial numbness, diplopia, blurred vision, drooping eyelids, strabismus, and even eye fixation or blindness can occur.

2 Neck mass: According to statistics, the neck metastasis rate of nasal cavity cancer is 40%-85%, and about half of patients visit the hospital with a neck mass. Because the nasopharynx is rich in lymphoid tissue, cancer cells can easily metastasize from lymph to the upper group of deep cervical lymph nodes, and can also develop to the middle, lower or posterior groups later, and can develop to the contralateral side.

3. Nasal congestion: unilateral nasal congestion occurs due to tumor occlusion of the posterior nostrils, and in the advanced stage, there are nasal congestion on both sides due to tumor enlargement.

4. Nosebleeds: It is one of the early symptoms of nasal cavity cancer, which is usually a small amount of nasal discharge or blood streaks in one nostril. Most patients retract from the nasal cavity backward and suck out a bloody amount of mucus and spit it out of the oropharynx, which is a "pharyngeal" epistaxis, resulting in missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis.

Late-stage cancer erodes blood vessels and can cause massive bleeding.

5 Tinnitus and hearing loss: The tumor obstructs or compresses the pharyngeal opening of the Eustachian tube, which can cause ipsilateral tinnitus, ear tightness and hearing loss, or accompanied by tympanic effusion.

Each doctor's special surgery and style are also different, and it is best to go to a specialized hospital or a regular hospital, such as the Provincial Ear, Nose and Throat Hospital affiliated to Shandong University.
