Symptoms of advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma

summary

Cancer is a terrible disease. Generally, cancer can't be cured. My grandfather was found to have nasopharyngeal carcinoma some time ago, and it was found to be advanced. Let me introduce the symptoms of advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Symptoms of advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma

The first symptom is that patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma have the symptoms of bleeding in the early stage, which is often manifested as blood in sputum after nasal suction. There is less bleeding in the early stage, and more bleeding in the later stage. Accompanied by hearing loss, tinnitus and other symptoms. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) usually occurs in the lateral wall of nasopharynx. It will be compressed by the tumor and cause unilateral tinnitus or hearing loss. Patients may also have symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, such as otitis media and sense of occlusion in the ear. 　　

Second, the most common symptom of patients with advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma is headache, which may also be the only symptom. In patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma, headache is not fixed in the early stage, but migraine occurs in the late stage, and the location of headache is fixed. 　　

The third symptom is that the patient will have double shadows when they are invaded by the tumor, and the trochlear nerve will be invaded, which can cause esotropia. The late symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma also include nasal congestion. When the cancer is small, the nasal congestion is light. When the cancer is large, the nasal congestion is aggravated, which is generally unilateral.
