In addition to the early headache symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, what other causes are there?

What are the early headache symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma? What are the causes?

1. Early headache symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma About 70% of patients have headache symptoms. The headache of early nasopharyngeal carcinoma mainly manifests as migraine, pain in the back of the skull or neck. The headache symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma are mainly related to the invasion of cancerous tissue into the skull base bones, nerves and blood vessels.

2. In the early stage, in addition to headache, runny nose and blood are also early symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, which manifests as blood in the runny nose, or runny nose sucked out of the mouth, also known as blood in suctioned sputum. Experts point out that the runny nose and blood of early patients often occur in the morning after getting up, and the amount of runny nose and blood is not much, which is often ignored by patients and mistaken for rhinitis or sinusitis.

3. Nasal congestion is also an important symptom of early nasopharyngeal carcinoma, mainly manifested as unilateral nasal congestion. When the nasopharyngeal tumor grows, bilateral nasal congestion may occur, which requires observation. Patients with early nasopharyngeal carcinoma may also experience symptoms such as tinnitus, stuffy ears, and hearing loss. This symptom is caused by the nasopharyngeal carcinoma neoplasm blocking the Eustachian tube opening on the affected side. Hearing loss may also be caused by further deterioration of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and damage to the auditory nerve. Experts say that tinnitus and hearing loss are often misdiagnosed as otitis media or other diseases, and attention should be paid.

4. For the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, you can try combined chemotherapy. Chemotherapy can be used in conjunction with radiotherapy, and can also be used for palliative treatment of patients with late distant metastasis or recurrence after radiotherapy. Commonly used drugs include cisplatin, carboplatin, cyclophosphamide, bleomycin 5-fluorouracil, etc. The effect is better than radiotherapy alone or chemotherapy alone. Or it can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine, which plays an important role in the treatment of advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma. It can not only reduce the toxic side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy on the human body, but also play a role in enhancing efficacy and reducing toxicity in the treatment of advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
