Why do ears become deaf after chemotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Why does deafness occur after chemotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma?

1. Patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma may experience symptoms of deafness. If nasopharyngeal carcinoma is diagnosed early, timely surgical treatment, postoperative radiotherapy or chemotherapy should be given. Usually, they should pay attention to rest, avoid fatigue, pay attention to emotional regulation, and stay happy. They should also pay attention to dietary regulation and eat less spicy, cold and other irritating foods to avoid aggravating the condition.

2. Radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma may cause deafness and tinnitus. This is because the Eustachian tube is compressed and blocked. If it is not improved and the mass disappears, the disease will cause deafness. It is recommended that patients exercise more, eat more fruits and vegetables, arrange work and rest time reasonably, and eat regularly. Therefore, even if chemotherapy is performed for nasopharyngeal carcinoma, there will be no more serious problems. If the disease is not improved, there will not only be deafness problems, but there may be more serious conditions. According to the symptoms you described, the patient suddenly became deaf because the nose and ears are connected by the Eustachian tube.

Is minimally invasive surgery for nasopharyngeal carcinoma painful?

Bi minimally invasive surgery causes a certain degree of pain, but the pain is not severe. It can kill cancer cells and control the disease in a short period of time, achieving remarkable results. Surgery and radiotherapy are local treatments, but they cannot kill cancer cells throughout the body. They will also kill a large number of normal cells, damage body functions, and cause the patient's immunity to decline.

General minimally invasive treatment is suitable for patients with local recurrence or control of nasal cancer after radiotherapy, that is, patients with tumors limited to the nasopharyngeal cavity or mild invasion in front of the cervical process, or some patients who have undergone minimally invasive surgery for T3 sinuses.

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a malignant tumor that occurs in the roof and side walls of the nasopharynx.
