What to check for nasopharyngeal carcinoma

summary

These two days, my little sister always says that her nose is uncomfortable. I think she may have rhinitis. Let her take the medicine for rhinitis. As a result, she told me that she ate it, but it was useless. So I took her to the hospital for a check. The doctor said it was nasopharyngeal carcinoma. I was scared at the time. Today, I'd like to talk with you about the examination for nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

What to check for nasopharyngeal carcinoma

First, the main symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma are: blood in the nose, lymph nodes in the neck, double vision, dizziness, headache and ear symptoms, sometimes only one of them. In order to be careful, you can go to the hospital to check: generally, first do nasopharyngeal endoscopy to see whether the surface of the nasopharynx is abnormal, such as rupture, ulcer, mass, etc.

Second: if there is a lump, it needs to do a part of the examination, such as blood test (EB virus) and CT, Mr, etc. if the follow-up examination supports the judgment of cancer, finally it needs to be confirmed by biopsy. If the diagnosis is confirmed, start treatment as early as possible.

Third: indirect nasopharyngoscopy and fiber nasopharyngoscopy can be performed. If abnormal tissue is found, biopsy will be performed. If the mucosa is normal or convex, CT examination will be performed. If abnormal tissue is found, submucosal biopsy will be performed to confirm the diagnosis. Indirect nasopharyngoscopy through the oral cavity, simple; fiber nasopharyngoscopy through the nostril, comprehensive and clear observation; CT examination can find submucosal lesions and the scope of invasion.
