Question

What are the symptoms of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma?

Answer

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a common head and neck tumor, often associated with Epstein-Barr virus infection. The main symptoms include nasal obstruction, dizziness, decreased hearing, and nosebleeds. For early-stage nasopharyngeal carcinoma, radiotherapy or surgery can achieve curative effects; while for locally advanced or late-stage nasopharyngeal carcinoma, radiotherapy or chemotherapy can significantly prolong the patient’s life and greatly improve their quality of life. In daily life, patients should balance their nutritional intake, engage in more aerobic exercises to strengthen their bodies, and maintain a positive mood to enhance their physique and accelerate recovery.
