Nasopharyngeal cancer is cancer that
affects the area behind the nose
towards the base of the skull.
Though it may be considered as an
"oral cancer" the risk factos are
different.
Nasopharyngeal cancer is categorized
by three types:
Type 1: keratinizing squamous cell
carcinoma
Type 2: non-keratinizing carcinoma
Type 3: and undifferentiated
carcinoma
Symptoms:
Symptoms of nasopharyngeal cancer
include:
- a lump in your neck
- trouble hearing - usually in
just one ear,
- nosebleeds,
- headaches,
- or ringing in the ears,
- change in "feeling" of one side
of the face
Diagnosis:
Symptoms (as described above) may
prompt your doctor to use direct
nasopharyngoscopy. This consists of
a flexible tube with a light and
camera. The doctor can use the scope
to look for abnormal growths. If any
unusual growths are found the doctor
will take a biopsy and have it
examined.
Treatment:
If the cancer has not spread to
other parts of the body a cure is
very likely. Usually radiation
therapy or combination with
chemotherapy are usually successful.
