What are the specific symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma recurrence?

1. The vast majority of nasopharyngeal carcinomas are undifferentiated carcinomas or poorly differentiated squamous carcinomas, which are sensitive to radiation. Radiotherapy is usually the first choice for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Radiotherapy has a good therapeutic effect on most nasopharyngeal carcinomas, with a cure rate of about 60%, but 40% of patients still experience symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma recurrence after radiotherapy. There are many factors that cause the recurrence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, including tumor biological characteristics, clinical stage payment, and treatment technology. The earlier the clinical stage payment, the better the treatment effect and the lower the recurrence rate. On the basis of local squamous metaplasia, nasopharyngeal carcinoma also has new cancer foci after more than 10 years of radiotherapy.

2. A common recurrence symptom of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is that the nasopharynx is close to the skull base and the internal carotid artery. The recurrence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma will invade the skull base bone and then spread into the skull, causing severe headaches and cranial complications, and eventually leading to death. The recurrence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma often invades the internal carotid artery, leading to fatal massive bleeding. Since the patient's mouth is limited after radiotherapy, it is difficult for doctors to stop bleeding, so they are often helpless and watch the patient bleed to death.

3. Common clinical symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma recurrence. Experts say that once the symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma recur, it indicates that the treatment becomes more difficult. The symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma recurrence make patients very painful and have a poor quality of life. They often have severe pain in the face and tongue, and even severe pain. They need to take strong painkillers for a long time. Once we see these symptoms, we should go to the hospital for treatment immediately.
