Clinical examination is a routine examination item for NPC examination and is more important. In addition to examining the nasopharynx, nasal cavity, and oropharynx, it is also necessary to examine the head, face, regional lymph nodes for metastasis, and the whole body system.

1 Head and neck: To check whether nasopharyngeal carcinoma has expanded outward, the nasal cavity, oropharynx, external auditory canal, tympanic membrane, eye socket, and soft palate should be examined.

2 Eyes. Common symptoms include loss or disappearance of vision, proptosis, orbital mass, and ptosis with fixed eyeball.

3. Cranial nerves. Local expansion of nasopharyngeal carcinoma often causes damage to cranial nerves, leading to various neurological disorders in the head and face.

The treatment of late-stage nasopharyngeal carcinoma is more difficult, but as long as active symptomatic treatment is given, the symptoms can be relieved and life can be prolonged. In the late stage, cancer cells metastasize and spread, and a single local treatment cannot control the disease.

It is recommended to use a method that combines systemic chemotherapy with holistic treatment of traditional Chinese medicine. Western medicine chemotherapy can act quickly on the local or systemic part, and the recent treatment effect is good. However, chemotherapy drugs also have great side effects. They not only kill tumor cells, but also kill cells of normal tissues. These cells and tissues are important immune defense systems of the human body, destroying the human immune system. Cancer cells may develop rapidly, causing the disease to worsen, and even shortening the patient's life.
