A simple way to rule out nasopharyngeal cancer comparison

This can be ruled out through self-examination, medical examination, etc. If you feel unwell, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time and take appropriate treatment measures according to the doctor's advice according to different situations. The details are as follows:

1. Self-examination

Observe symptoms: In the early stage of nasopharyngeal cancer, symptoms such as nasal congestion, blood in mucus, tinnitus, and hearing loss may occur. Although these symptoms are common, they are not specific manifestations. Therefore, when these symptoms occur, there is no need to panic, but they should also be taken seriously.

Touch the neck: People with nasopharyngeal cancer may have swollen lymph nodes in the neck. You can gently touch both sides of the neck at home to check for swollen lymph nodes. But please note that there are many reasons for swollen lymph nodes in the neck, and it is not necessarily nasopharyngeal cancer.

2. Medical Examination

Nasopharyngeal endoscopy: Nasopharyngeal endoscopy is the most direct and simple way to rule out nasopharyngeal cancer. Through the nasopharyngeal endoscopy, the doctor can directly observe the condition of the nasopharynx, find suspicious lesions and perform biopsies.

Imaging examinations: including CT, MRI and other imaging examinations, can fully understand the condition of the nasopharynx and its surrounding structures, and detect tumor infiltration and metastasis.

In daily life, smoking and drinking should be avoided. Quitting smoking and limiting alcohol consumption can reduce the incidence of nasopharyngeal cancer. Maintaining a balanced diet, consuming more fresh vegetables and fruits, and reducing the intake of pickled, smoked and other foods can help prevent nasopharyngeal cancer. Maintaining good living habits, exercising properly, and enhancing immunity can help resist the invasion of diseases.
