What are the symptoms of late-stage nasopharyngeal carcinoma? What is the diet?

1. Late-stage nasopharyngeal carcinoma causes heavy bleeding, including nosebleeds.

2. Early tinnitus, hearing loss and ear blockage feel more severe in the late stage.

3. Late-stage skull base tumor damage or intracranial spread involving cranial nerves causes persistent migraine in a fixed location.

4. Due to the invasion of the abducens nerve by the tumor, double vision often occurs. Invasion of the sliding nerve often causes inward strabismus and diplopia.
