Is nasopharyngeal cancer dangerous?

The harm is very great. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a malignant tumor, and the location of the tumor is close to the head, which will cause damage to the intracranial nerves and lead to vision loss. There is also a risk of blindness, and malignant tumors also have a certain chance of metastasis. They will metastasize to various parts of the body, such as the liver, lungs, and bones, seriously reducing the patient's quality of life and shortening their lifespan. Therefore, active treatment is necessary, such as surgical treatment, chemotherapy, targeted drug therapy, biological therapy, etc., mainly to control the growth, development and spread of the tumor, which will reduce pain and prolong life expectancy of nasopharyngeal carcinoma in general.

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is one of the most common malignant tumors in my country, and it is more common in men than in women. The main symptom is that blood may appear in the nasal mucus in the early stage, which may appear and disappear from time to time. The enlargement of the tumor may block the posterior nasal cavity, causing nasal congestion, which starts on one side and then turns to bilateral. There may also be symptoms such as tinnitus, a sense of ear blockage, hearing loss, headache, diplopia, or deep cervical lymphadenopathy. Go to a regular hospital for indirect nasopharyngeal endoscopy or electronic endoscopy and nasopharyngeal biopsy, imaging and other examinations to confirm the diagnosis. It is recommended that patients maintain a good attitude after surgery, eat less high-salt pickled foods, eat more vegetables and fruits, and exercise moderately. Most of the early symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma are headaches, which are mainly manifested as continuously increasing headaches, as well as various craniofacial nerve symptoms caused by facial numbness or other skull base invasions.

Is it absolutely possible to cure benign nasopharyngeal cancer?

Generally speaking, cancer is malignant, and there is no such thing as benign. Once diagnosed, surgery is recommended for those who can undergo surgery, and radiotherapy can be considered for those who cannot undergo surgery. Radiotherapy is relatively effective for patients with nasal cancer. Nasopharyngeal cancer is a malignant tumor that occurs in the nasopharynx.
