Will nasopharyngeal cancer cause bad breath?

Does nasopharyngeal cancer cause bad breath?

Patients with nasopharyngeal cancer have severe bad breath, which may be caused by damage to the digestive system. It is recommended that patients ask doctors to give medicines to relieve the bad breath. Usually, patients should also pay more attention to their diet, try not to eat spicy and greasy foods, and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits.

However, bad breath is not the main clinical symptom of nasopharyngeal cancer. It can also cause ear symptoms such as nasal congestion, nosebleeds, runny nose, stuffy ears, ear swelling, hearing loss, etc. Nasopharyngeal cancer may also cause bad breath.

Can enhanced CT scan of nasopharyngeal carcinoma confirm the diagnosis with 100% certainty?

Enhanced CT scan of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cannot diagnose nasopharyngeal carcinoma 100%. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a malignant tumor of the nasopharynx. Clinical manifestations include bloody nose and swollen lymph nodes in the neck. If nasopharyngeal carcinoma is to be diagnosed, fiberoptic nasopharyngeal endoscopy and partial tissue biopsy are required to confirm the diagnosis.

The probability of nasopharyngeal cancer by nuclear magnetic resonance is relatively high, especially when typical signs are obvious. Of course, for early nasopharyngeal cancer, the diagnosis rate is relatively low and should be combined with pathological examination.
