What are the symptoms of nasopharyngeal cancer? What is the diet for patients with stage 2 nasopharyngeal cancer?

1. The first symptom is nasal symptoms. Because the primary cancer breaks through the surface mucosa, bloody runny nose appears. When inhaling, nasal secretions usually contain blood streaks or blood clots, which is common after getting up in the morning. It is one of the early symptoms.

2. In the late stage of cancer, ulcers may cause purulent nasal discharge or heavy bleeding that is difficult to stop, which may even be life-threatening. In the early stage, there is no nasal congestion. When cancer develops, it may cause unilateral or bilateral nasal congestion.

3. The most common symptoms in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma are ear symptoms. When cancer of the lateral wall of the nasopharynx or other parts of the nasopharynx expands, blocks or compresses the Eustachian tube, catarrhal otitis media often occurs, leading to tinnitus, ear occlusion and hearing loss, or accompanied by tympanic effusion. Conscious ear symptoms accounted for 16.1%.

4. Proper diet for cancer patients is of great help in treating the disease. Most patients with stage 2 nasopharyngeal cancer are relatively weak, so they should eat more high-protein, high-fiber foods such as milk, eggs, fish, meat, poultry, and soy products, and high-fiber foods such as animal liver, carrots, tomatoes, lemons, and fruits, especially those with anti-cancer effects such as carrots, mushrooms, fungus, beans, ergot, day lily, asparagus, and turtles.
