Early symptoms and manifestations of nasopharyngeal carcinoma?

Headache: about 70% of NPC patients have headache symptoms at the time of initial diagnosis. The headache symptom of nasopharyngeal carcinoma often presents as unilateral persistent pain, mostly in the temporal and parietal region. The headache of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is mostly related to the invasion of skull base bone, nerves and blood vessels by cancer tissue.

Bloody nose and epistaxis: bloody nose is an early symptom of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, characterized by blood in the nose, or by sucking blood from the mouth. Epistaxis often occurs after getting up in the morning. When the amount of blood in the nose is not much, it is often neglected by the patients and mistaken for rhinitis or sinusitis.

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is more common in the lateral wall of the nasopharynx, and also occurs in the lateral fossa or the opening of the eustachian tube. After the development of this kind of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, it will compress the eustachian tube, and then affect the patient's unilateral ear hearing. Sometimes nasopharyngeal carcinoma can induce other otitis media.
