Early diagnosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma

summary

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a kind of terrible malignant tumor. There are many reasons for the occurrence of this disease. Now many middle-aged and old people are prone to suffer from nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Some time ago, my friend's father just diagnosed nasopharyngeal carcinoma and went to the hospital for chemotherapy treatment. I'd like to share with you the early diagnosis methods of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Early diagnosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Diagnosis method 1: nasopharyngoscopy: nasopharyngeal carcinoma often occurs at the top of nasopharynx and near the pharyngeal recess. The lesions were uneven, nodular hyperplasia and ulceration on the surface.

Diagnosis method 2: biopsy: pathological examination is the main basis to determine nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Biopsy of nasopharynx could not be confirmed, but cervical lymph node biopsy could be performed in patients with enlarged cervical lymph nodes.

Diagnosis method 3: Patients with suspected nasopharyngeal carcinoma should be confirmed by pathological examination. Other examinations often done include detailed history inquiry, head and neck examination, EB virus serological test, imaging examination, etc.
