suddenly! The well-known director passed away at the age of 58! This cancer has a high incidence in Hunan...

due to worsening condition and transferred to the Sanatorium and Hospital

, but unfortunately,

passed away two days after being transferred to the hospital.

be alert! People in Hunan are susceptible to nasopharyngeal cancer!

danger signs must not be ignored

experts introduced that nasopharyngeal carcinoma is the most common malignant tumor in otolaryngology head and neck surgery. According to reports in the literature, nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells respond very well to radiotherapy, and the early cure rate of can reach more than 90%.

Who are the high-risk groups of nasopharyngeal cancer? How can

detect nasopharyngeal carcinoma early?

How much is the relationship between nasopharyngeal cancer and rhinitis?

look at the detailed explanation-

nasopharyngeal carcinoma

family has obvious clustering

nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a kind of cancer that occurs in the nasopharynx, is mainly caused by EB virus infection, environment, diet and genetic factors. In our country, nasopharyngeal cancer has a high incidence in Guangdong , Guangxi, Hunan , Jiangxi, Fujian and other provinces. According to Professor Ma Jun, Executive Deputy Director of Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center and Executive Deputy Director of Affiliated Cancer Hospital, Nasopharyngeal Cancer has family clustering phenomenon. 21.6% of Nasopharyngeal Cancer patients have a family history of cancer, 12.3% of patients have Family history of nasopharyngeal cancer, the incidence of first-degree relatives of nasopharyngeal cancer patients (including parents, children, parents' siblings) is 4-10 times that of other populations. The

study found that pickled foods are related to the incidence of nasopharyngeal cancer, such as salted fish and dried meat. These foods have nitrosamine precursor nitrite during the curing process, which has a strong carcinogenic effect. In addition to this, some trace elements may also induce nasopharyngeal cancer, such as nickel, etc. in the environment, the content exceeds the standard, and aromatic hydrocarbons (smoking), formaldehyde, radiation, etc. may also be pathogenic factors. Early symptoms of

are mostly in the neck and ears

Five major signs of nasopharyngeal cancer are remembered

When talking about nasopharyngeal cancer, people usually think of nasal symptoms such as nasal congestion and epistaxis. However, the earliest symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma are often seen in the ears and neck, and cervical lymphadenopathy is sometimes even the first symptom of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

When there are five major signals in the body, be aware of the possibility of nasopharyngeal cancer. The earlier you find it, the better the effect of treatment.

1. Bleeding

Blood in the nasal discharge or blood in the sputum after inhaling the nose, which often occurs after getting up in the morning, because the nasal discharge does not carry much blood, it is easy to be ignored.

2. Nasal congestion

is mostly unilateral nasal congestion. Changing one side while sleeping still persists, and the symptoms are getting worse.

3. Tinnitus and hearing loss

With the growth of nasopharyngeal cancer, the blockage of the Eustachian tube by the tumor can cause tinnitus, ear stuffiness and hearing loss on the side of the tumor.

4. Swollen lymph nodes in the neck

The neck is large on one side and small on the other side. The swollen lymph nodes are painless, hard, and have poor mobility. They gradually increase rapidly and become fixed. Multiple swollen lymph nodes can merge into a huge mass.

5. Headache, facial numbness, diplopia

When the tumor grows upwards, neighboring organs will also suffer. The bones at the base of the skull will also be eroded by tumors, affecting the trigeminal nerve, manifesting pain in the top of the head, occipital, and temporal areas. In addition, symptoms such as facial numbness, double vision, and blurred vision may also occur. The survival rate of early patients with

can reach 80%. High-risk groups of

should check

every year. Jun Ma introduced that as long as there is no distant metastasis at the initial diagnosis, after treatment, the 5-year survival rate of patients has reached 80% or even higher. However, clinically, 70% to 80% of patients are already locally advanced when they are diagnosed with nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Ma Jun recommends that do EB virus serological examination in routine physical examination every year.

rhinitis and nasopharyngeal cancer have similar symptoms.

No direct contact

There are often rumors on the Internet that rhinitis will develop nasopharyngeal cancer after a long time, and many patients with "old rhinitis" are worried. Is

true?

worry too much!

Sheng Xinxiu, deputy director of the Department of Radiotherapy and Head and Neck Oncology, Southern Medical University Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, introduced that rhinitis is mainly an inflammation of the nasal mucosa and submucosal tissues, mostly caused by colds and allergies.It is caused by the element, has different lesion sites, and there is no direct relationship in the pathogenesis.

can also roughly distinguish the two from the symptoms:

Sheng Xinxiu reminds that although rhinitis and nasopharyngeal carcinoma have no direct causal relationship in terms of pathology, this does not mean that there is no relationship between the two.

In fact, in , a small number of patients died of rhinitis for a long time. The inflammation extended to the nasopharynx, causing the nasopharynx to become cancerous under the long-term stimulation of inflammation.
