summary

My nose has not been very good. I often sneeze. I went to the hospital for examination and found that I had nasopharyngeal carcinoma. I was very afraid and worried that it could not be cured. In order to prevent this situation, I would like to introduce the side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma

First, the postoperative sequelae of nasopharyngeal carcinoma mainly include the following manifestations: blood and epistaxis in the nasal discharge, tinnitus, hearing loss, etc. tumors located in the anterior wall of the top of the nasopharynx are more likely to cause nasal congestion, and headache is a common symptom. Yes, he was rescued. In Qingdao, there have also been cases of death caused by the treatment of psoriasis with plum blossom needle plus external application of mercury containing folk prescription, which has to arouse the deep thinking of psoriasis patients. 　　

Second: nasopharyngeal carcinoma must pass effective examination before diagnosis to know whether it really has nasopharyngeal carcinoma. If you have symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, you need to go to a large hospital in time to exclude nasopharyngeal carcinoma. At the same time, we should pay attention to rest, not too tired.

Third: for fiber nasopharyngoscopy, first use 1% ephedrine solution to astringe the nasal mucosa and expand the nasal meatus, then use 1% dicaine solution to anesthetize the nasal meatus, and then insert the fiber nasopharyngoscope from the nasal cavity, and push forward to the nasopharynx while observing. The method is simple and convenient, and the mirror is fixed well, but the observation of the posterior nostril and the anterior parietal wall is not satisfactory.

matters needing attention

At present, immunoenzymatic method is widely used to detect IgA / VCA and IgA / EA antibody titers of Epstein Barr virus. The former has higher sensitivity and lower accuracy, while the latter is just the opposite. Therefore, the detection of both antibodies should be carried out simultaneously in patients with suspected nasopharyngeal carcinoma, which is helpful for early diagnosis. For patients with IgA / VCA titer ≥ 1:40 and / or IgA / EA titer ≥ 1:5, exfoliated cells or biopsies should be taken from the site of NPC even if there is no abnormality in the nasopharynx. If the diagnosis is not confirmed at the moment, regular follow-up should be carried out, and multiple biopsy should be performed if necessary.
