How to confirm nasopharyngeal carcinoma biopsy

First: indirect nasopharyngoscopy: it is necessary to repeatedly and carefully look for suspicious places. If the pharyngeal reflex sensitivity test can not cooperate, it can be checked after surface anesthesia; if it is still unsuccessful, the soft palate can be pulled open with a soft palate retractor, or a thin catheter can be inserted into the anterior nostril. The front end is pulled out from the mouth, and the back end is left outside the anterior nostril. The two ends are fastened and fixed, and the soft palate can be pulled forward to fully expose the nose Pharynx, and can be biopsy.

Second: pathological examination: biopsy: transnasal approach or oral approach can be taken. If the biopsy is negative, those who still feel suspicious should be repeated and followed up closely. Cervical lymph node biopsy or cervical lymph node cytology smear examination: if the cervical lymph node is swollen and hard, cervical lymph node puncture smear examination should be performed. If there is no obvious suspicious lesion in nasopharynx, lymph node biopsy should be considered.

Third: in general, in clinical cases of 30-50 years old patients with symptoms such as bloody nose, nasal congestion, headache, tinnitus, deafness and neck mass, we should first consider the possibility of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and actively carry out comprehensive examination.
