What methods can be used to diagnose nasopharyngeal carcinoma?

The diagnosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is the method to confirm the condition of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. So what methods can be used to diagnose nasopharyngeal carcinoma? In fact, if you want to confirm the condition, there are still many methods to diagnose nasopharyngeal carcinoma . Let the experts answer these questions for us.

The main types of diagnosis for nasopharyngeal carcinoma are as follows:

(a) Anterior rhinoscopy: After the nasal mucosa is retracted, the posterior nasal cavity and nasopharynx can be viewed through the anterior rhinoscopy, and tumors invading or adjacent to the nostrils can be detected. This is a diagnostic method for nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

(ii) Indirect nasopharyngeal endoscopy is simple and practical. Each wall of the nasopharynx should be examined in turn, with attention paid to the posterior wall of the nasopharyngeal roof and the pharyngeal recesses on both sides. The corresponding parts on both sides should be compared and observed. Any asymmetric submucosal protrusions or isolated nodules on both sides should be paid more attention. This is a diagnostic method for nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

(III) Fiberoptic nasopharyngoscopy During fiberoptic nasopharyngoscopy, 1% ephedrine solution can be used to astringe the nasal mucosa and expand the nasal passages. Then 1% dicaine solution can be used to anesthetize the nasal passages. Then the fiberscope is inserted from the nasal cavity, and the microscope is pushed forward while being observed until it reaches the nasopharyngeal cavity. This method is simple and the mirror is well fixed, but the observation of the posterior nasal cavity and the front wall of the roof is not satisfactory. This is a diagnostic method for nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

The above is the explanation given by experts on the diagnosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. I hope it can help you answer your questions.
