What are the symptoms of nasopharyngeal cancer

What are the symptoms of nasopharyngeal cancer?

1. Headache may occur in the early stage, and it is often biased to one side and intermittent. Symptoms such as nasal congestion, ear closure, tinnitus, numbness of the chin, diplopia, upper and lower spondylosis may also occur. It often occurs in the pharyngeal recess and the anterior wall of the nasopharynx.

2. The primary cancer breaks through the surface mucosa and bloody mucus appears. After getting up in the morning, the nasal secretions often contain blood or blood clots when inhaling. This is also one of the early symptoms. During the examination, the neck mass is mostly hard, with small nodules on the surface, and it is not easy to move because it is adhered to the surrounding area.

3. If the patient does not go to the hospital for treatment early and does not remove the tumor at the best time, the condition may worsen. Late-stage cancer is prone to invade the brain and metastasize to distant places such as bones, liver, and lungs. It mainly refers to the mass caused by metastasis of cervical lymph nodes. In the early stage, the mass will mostly appear on one side, which will increase rapidly and then gradually occur on the opposite side of the neck. The headache is a persistent, fixed, severe migraine, which can be distending, dull, or tight, and will be more obvious in the distribution area of ​​the trigeminal nerve.
