What are the early symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and what are the treatments?

Of course, no matter what the disease is, it is best to eliminate it at the beginning stage of its development, but the problem is, how can we know when it starts? OK! Now let's talk about what symptoms will appear in the early stage of nasopharyngeal cancer? What are the treatments?

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a malignant tumor with extremely uneven geographical distribution. 80% of the world's nasopharyngeal carcinoma occurs in China. Southern China is a high-incidence area, with Guangdong Province having the highest incidence rate. Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan and other places are also high-incidence areas. The incidence rate is more than 100 times higher than that in most other countries and regions. Therefore, nasopharyngeal carcinoma is also known as "Guangdong cancer."

The early symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma are mainly as follows:

① Bleeding;

②Headache;

③Swelling of cervical lymph nodes;

④ Other symptoms: nasal congestion, ear closure, tinnitus, numbness, diplopia, dangerous ptosis and other symptoms in addition to one or all of the above symptoms.

When you have some of the above symptoms, you should be alert, give yourself a shot, and go to the hospital for a check-up. Currently, the treatments for early stage nasopharyngeal cancer include:

Radiotherapy is the first choice for early treatment of NPC, and the cure rate of radiotherapy for NPC is 40% to 70%. Due to the special anatomical location of the nasopharynx, surgery is difficult, and more than 80% of NPC is poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma, which is more sensitive to radiotherapy.

Traditional Chinese medicine is also one of the ways to treat early nasopharyngeal carcinoma. It can also alleviate the side effects of radiotherapy and improve the patient's body constitution. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma always adheres to the treatment method that is tailored to the individual, the time and the individual.

If you realize that you may have nasopharyngeal cancer, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up and use the appropriate treatment method under the guidance of a doctor!
