How much does nasopharyngeal carcinoma virus screening cost

Nasopharyngeal cancer is a symptom of cancer in the nasopharynx. The diagnosis of nasopharyngeal cancer can be determined through examinations, but many patients are also concerned about the cost of the examination. The following is an introduction to what examinations are done to confirm nasopharyngeal cancer and how much does it cost?

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma refers to a malignant tumor that occurs in the nasopharyngeal mucosa. Most of the patients are middle-aged, but some are teenagers. The cause of the disease is related to racial susceptibility, genetic factors, and Epstein-Barr virus infection. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is highly malignant. In the early stages of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, the first symptom is bleeding. The bleeding is mainly caused by blood in the posterior nasal ligament or bloody nasal discharge. At the beginning, it is often a small amount of blood, which is easy to be ignored. When the amount of bleeding is large, the disease is often in the middle or late stage. Early detection of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is also helpful for treatment.

The following tests are required to confirm nasopharyngeal carcinoma:

Tumor biopsy: This is a qualitative method to confirm nasopharyngeal carcinoma, which cannot be replaced by other clinical examinations. Whether it is the first diagnosis and treatment or the recurrence after treatment, pathology must be obtained before treatment.

Serological examination: Patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma often have increased titers of serum EB virus antibodies VERIgA and RAIgA. EB virus antibodies may be positive before clinical symptoms appear, and their titers often increase with the progression of the disease and decrease with the improvement of the disease.

If nasopharyngeal cancer patients can be detected early, receive early standardized treatment, and have a good attitude and rehabilitation care, the early treatment rate of nasopharyngeal cancer can be as high as 90%. In the early stage of nasopharyngeal cancer, through radiotherapy and comprehensive treatment, more than 90% of patients can be completely cured. The prevention and treatment of nasopharyngeal cancer lies in early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment. In normal times, everyone should change bad eating habits, such as not eating pickled foods and not smoking.

In summary, the cost of confirmatory examination for nasopharyngeal cancer is not expensive, and the price varies in different regions. It is recommended that patients consult a pharmacist to learn about the local examination costs.
