Can nasopharyngeal cancer cause a retracted eardrum?

In the early stages of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, patients may experience symptoms such as retracted eardrums, stuffy ears, tinnitus, and hearing loss. Some patients may experience blood in their nasal discharge, or blood in their nasal discharge, nasal congestion, headaches, and swollen lymph nodes in the neck.

If you are diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer, you should go to a regular cancer hospital for treatment in time. In your daily life, you should avoid staying up late, overwork, and staying in a noisy environment for a long time. Normal nasopharyngeal cancer will not cause the eardrum to retract.

What are the types of nasopharyngeal cancer?

98% of nasopharyngeal carcinomas are poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinomas, so radiotherapy is the first choice for treatment. Cobalt 60 or linear accelerators are often used for high-energy radiotherapy. During radiotherapy, chemotherapy, traditional Chinese medicine and immunotherapy can be combined to prevent distant metastasis, improve radiotherapy sensitivity or reduce radiotherapy complications.

There are three general types of nasopharyngeal carcinoma: The ascending type is also called cranial nerve type or type A: There is invasion of the first II, III, IV, V, and VI cranial nerves and bone damage at the skull base, but there is no cervical lymph node metastasis.

The pathological classification of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is mainly divided into keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma, differentiated non-keratinizing carcinoma and undifferentiated non-keratinizing carcinoma. Epidemiological data show that 98% of rhinitis patients suffer from differentiated non-keratinizing carcinoma and undifferentiated non-keratinizing carcinoma.
