Stage 4 symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma?

summary

What are the symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma stage 4? Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is the most common malignant tumor. The middle-aged people are the high incidence group of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma causes great harm to patients. The early symptoms are not obvious, so it's easy to miss the expert time for treatment. Next, I'd like to introduce the symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, so that patients can better understand nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Stage 4 symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma?

1. Ocular symptoms: when nasopharyngeal carcinoma invades the orbit or nerves related to the eyeball, there may be visual impairment, exophthalmos, diplopia, and limitation of eye movement.

2. Blepharoptosis and eyeball fixation: related to oculomotor nerve damage. The decrease or disappearance of visual acuity is related to optic nerve damage or orbital cone invasion. Hoarseness and dysphagia are related to vagus nerve and glossopharyngeal nerve damage.

3. Epistaxis or nasal obstruction: because the tumor blood vessels in the nasopharyngeal cavity are relatively fragile, and the tumor surface is often covered by numerous membranes, it has the symptoms of epistaxis, which is one of the early symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Severe cases may have a lot of nasal obstruction. Hemoptysis often occurs in the morning after getting up, from the mouth discharge bloody nasal mucus, with a small amount of blood, often neglected by patients or as hemoptysis, respiratory diagnosis and treatment, cancer surface ulceration or cauliflower type, this symptom is more common.

As long as the appropriate method is selected for active treatment, the symptoms can be improved and the survival time can be prolonged. Patients with advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma should maintain an optimistic attitude and actively cooperate with the treatment. In the long run, the survival period will be prolonged.
