There is a kind of cancer that is unaware of, and there is a kind of cancer, which is particularly easy to be mistaken for rhinitis , and there is a kind of cancer. Although the incidence rate is not high, the mortality rate is very high. There is a kind of cancer, which comes from facial features. This kind of cancer is nasopharyngeal cancer .
When it comes to nasopharyngeal carcinoma, everyone will think of Lee Chong Wei , a world-renowned badminton player, was diagnosed with nasopharyngeal carcinoma in 2018. As we all know, the best treatment for nasopharyngeal carcinoma is not surgery or chemotherapy, but radiotherapy. It is said that Lee Chong Wei has received 33 proton treatments, with a high cost of 9.36 million yuan, which is unimaginable to ordinary people.
Naropharyngeal carcinoma, as the malignant tumor with the highest incidence among facial features, is easily misdiagnosed as rhinitis because its most common symptoms include nasal symptoms. When nose discomfort occurs, people will naturally think of rhinitis. Who would think of nasopharyngeal carcinoma?
First, nasal symptoms, when nasal cancer comes, sometimes not-so-not-nosed nasal blood can appear in the early stage. As time goes by, the tumor continues to grow, and the nasal symptoms will become more and more obvious. Because the enlarged tumor will clog the posterior nostrils and will also cause nasal congestion. The nasal symptoms are not unique to nasopharyngeal carcinoma. In fact, the above symptoms may also cause rhinitis.
Second, ear symptoms, nasopharyngeal carcinoma can cause hearing loss. Many people can't understand that the tumor located in the pharyngeal crypt can compress the pharyngeal mouth of the Eustachian tube, thereby causing tinnitus and hearing loss.
Third, craniocerebral symptoms, patients with nasopharyngeal cancer can cause headaches, even cause vision loss, disappearance of smell, eyelid sagging , etc.
Fourth, The neck lymph nodes are swollen , the most easiest part of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is the neck lymph nodes. About 70% of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma have already had neck lymph node metastasis when they are diagnosed. How to determine whether it is neck lymph node metastasis? The benign lymph nodes are soft, have smooth surfaces and are motile. The malignant lymph nodes are hard, have rough and uneven surfaces and have poor motility. How to detect nasopharyngeal cancer in time? That is, when abnormal alarm signals appear, go to the hospital in time, the earlier the better. In order to better achieve screening, doctors recommend that EB virus examination and nasopharyngeal cancer should be performed in areas with high incidence of nasopharyngeal cancer, because EB virus is closely related to the incidence of nasopharyngeal cancer.
