What are the symptoms of advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma before death

summary

My friend had nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and he was in the late stage. He was lying on the bed every day taking medicine and injections. He didn't get angry. Even the doctor was at a loss. It was very sad to let his family prepare for the future. Now let me talk about the pre death symptoms of advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

What are the symptoms of advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma before death

First: nasal, ear, eye, oral symptoms. Most of the patients (> 98%) have the symptoms of the above-mentioned parts due to the invasion and expansion of primary cancer and surface ulcer infection. The time and sequence of clinical symptoms are determined according to the location and size of the tumor: the cancer is located at the top of the nasopharynx, with blood in the nose first, and spitting out from the mouth when there is a lot of blood, accompanied by nasal congestion, etc;

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, which are 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 may involve cranial nerves and cause corresponding symptoms. Clinically, cranial nerves V and VI are first 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.

matters needing attention

In a word, the earlier the disease is found, the better the treatment. Don't wait until you are terminally ill to go to the hospital for treatment. No one can control the disease. In addition, the emergence of diseases is often caused by bad living habits, so you should keep good living habits.
