So, what symptoms should raise concern and prompt a visit to the doctor? Because early nasopharyngeal cancer is often asymptomatic, more noticeable symptoms are frequently misdiagnosed as an enlarged thyroid. However, nearly 70% of patients are diagnosed after discovering a lump, which upon further examination, reveals nasopharyngeal cancer. This occurs because the nasopharynx is rich in lymphatic tissue. Cancer cells can spread to these lymph nodes, causing painless swelling in the upper, lateral neck. Thyroid enlargement and nasopharyngeal cancer present differently. Thyroid enlargement, whether due to hyperthyroidism or iodine deficiency leading to goiter, typically presents as a more diffuse swelling, affecting a larger area and volume than cancer metastasis in lymph nodes. Head and neck cancers, primarily nasopharyngeal cancer, account for one in ten cancer deaths. This is largely due to the difficulty in detecting nasopharyngeal cancer in its early stages. Early symptoms can be mistaken for common ailments like colds or excessive "heat" in the body (a traditional Chinese medicine concept), delaying crucial diagnosis. If you experience any of the following symptoms (which become more pronounced in later stages), consult an ENT specialist for a thorough evaluation: Painless neck lump(s) Hearing loss or a feeling of blockage in one ear Blood in saliva or phlegm Blood-tinged nasal discharge Nasal congestion or increased nasal discharge on one side Headaches and facial numbness Blurred vision (especially distant objects) Sore throat and hoarseness #nasopharyngealcancer #nasopharyngealcancersymptoms #DrLinChihFeng #thyroidenlargement #externalradiationtherapy Learn more with PresurgMedia: ⭐ Website｜https://presurg.cc/UaLLoS ⭐ Line｜https://presurg.cc/PaLLgN ⭐ Facebook｜https://presurg.cc/BaLLPL ⭐ Instagram｜https://presurg.cc/YaLLPm ＊The above text is excerpted from the PresurgMedia website. ＊Unauthorized reproduction, distribution, or modification of this video's content, in whole or in part, for commercial purposes is strictly prohibited.
