How did nasopharyngeal carcinoma die

summary

We held a classmate party last month, and almost all of us arrived, but we didn't see a math teacher that day. Our head teacher said that there was a relative in his family who had nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Recently, he has been busy with these things. Let's talk about how nasopharyngeal carcinoma died.

How did nasopharyngeal carcinoma die

First: the invasion and expansion of primary cancer, surface ulcer infection, the vast majority of patients (> 98%) will appear the symptoms of the above parts, only according to the location and size of the tumor to determine the time and sequence of clinical symptoms, cancer is located in the top of the nasopharynx, the first occurrence of blood in the nose, blood can be spit out from the mouth, with nasal congestion and other symptoms.

Second: the tumor is located in the pharyngeal recess and other places. In the early stage, it often has tinnitus, ear closure, hearing loss and other symptoms. It is easy to be misdiagnosed as catarrhal exudative otitis media or suppurative otitis media. The tumor infiltrates into the eye, showing unilateral exophthalmos, diplopia, eye movement disorders, etc. the tumor infiltrates into the medial pterygoid muscle, showing difficulty in opening the mouth. When the hypoglossal nerve is involved, the tongue muscle movement disorders appear, and the tongue tends to the contralateral side.

Third: cranial nerve symptoms: nasopharyngeal carcinoma infiltrates and expands upward, which can involve cranial nerve and cause corresponding symptoms. Clinically, cranial nerves V and VI are the first to be involved. With tumor expansion, cranial nerves III, IV, IX and X are also damaged, while cranial nerves I and II are located in the anterior part of the skull, while cranial nerves VII and VIII are located in the petrous part of the temporal bone. The upper cranial nerves were involved, showing loss of function.

matters needing attention

The incidence rate of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is relatively high in our country, so we should know more about the relevant knowledge and pay attention to preventive work in daily life, for example, regular check in to the hospital helps us understand the situation ahead of time.
