Common symptoms of nasal cancer

Because the nasopharyngeal position is hidden, it is not easy to check, and the early symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma are complex and lack of characteristics, which are easy to be ignored and delay diagnosis and treatment. We must be vigilant. Generally speaking, early nasopharyngeal carcinoma has the following four manifestations of self-discovery:

bleed

It is mainly due to nosebleed after nasal inhalation or nosebleed after nasal discharge. At the beginning, it is often a small amount of bloodshot, which is easy to be ignored. When there is a lot of bleeding, the lesion is often in the middle and late stage.

have a headache

Early headache, mostly to one side, intermittent; Persistent severe headache in the later stage is easy to be mistaken for nervous migraine.

Cervical lymphadenopathy

There is a lump on one or both sides of the neck, which is dysfunctional, hard and has poor mobility. It is often mistaken for lymphadenopathy or lymphadenitis.

Other symptoms

In addition to one or all of the above symptoms, symptoms such as nasal congestion, earplugs, tinnitus, ear numbness, diplopia and facial drooping may also occur. Advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma is prone to intracranial invasion and distant metastasis of bone, liver and lung.

Nasopharyngeal cancer can also have symptoms of deafness, but it is generally not taken seriously by patients. This is because nasopharyngeal carcinoma has a high degree of malignancy, early lymphatic metastasis and hidden location, and local symptoms such as nosebleed and nasal congestion appear late. More than half of the cases only show symptoms outside the nose in the early stage, and the feeling of deafness is not easy to be found. Therefore, the early missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis rate of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is high. In areas with high incidence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, middle-aged and elderly people aged 40-60, especially male middle-aged and elderly people, should be examined and treated in time once they have abnormal sensation in ears, neck, head and nasal cavity for a long time.
