What are the symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma brain metastasis and how to cure the patient

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a malignant tumor. Patients should actively seek treatment. If they find themselves feeling unwell, they should seek medical attention in time to solve the problem better. So, what are the symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma brain metastasis? How to cure the patient?

What are the symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma brain metastasis?

Specifically, it manifests in clinical symptoms such as fatigue, hemiplegia, hemiphasia, aphasia, ataxia, and nystagmus. Metastatic tumors located in the sellar region manifest as polydipsia and polyuria. Increased intracranial pressure is a typical manifestation of brain metastasis in patients. Due to the rapid growth of the tumor and severe edema around it, the symptoms of increased intracranial pressure are more obvious. Patients will experience a series of symptoms such as headache, malignant vomiting, and drowsiness. CT shows isodense, low-density or high-density shadows, with obvious surrounding edema bands. Sometimes low-density metastatic lesions are covered by edema bands and are not easy to detect. During enhanced scanning, metastatic lesions appear ring-shaped or uniformly enhanced. Brain MRI enhanced scanning helps to distinguish between radiation-induced brain damage and brain metastatic lesions. It has been reported that patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma may have single metastatic lesions in the cerebellopontine angle, and MRI can sensitively detect metastases in this rare area.

How to cure nasopharyngeal cancer?

It is recommended that timely surgical treatment be used to effectively prevent the spread of cancer cells, but the use of appropriate treatment techniques after surgery is a better treatment method. Currently, postoperative combined biological immunotherapy technology is of great help for future care, which can help patients improve their own immune capabilities and effectively prevent the metastasis and recurrence of cancer cells. It is the preferred treatment for patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma brain metastasis.
