Nasopharynx is the upper part of the throat that lies behind the nose and nasal cavity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What Are The Causes Of Nasopharyngeal Cancer?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Scientists are not exactly aware of what causes nasopharyngeal cancer. But they know that DNA changes trigger the onset of blood cancer, but what leads to those changes in the DNA is still unknown. Oncologists are still studying all the cancer cases to understand the cause better.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But, scientists have identified two major contributing factors &#8211; smoking and drinking. When burned,\u00a0cigarettes\u00a0create more than 7,000\u00a0chemicals. At least 69 of these\u00a0chemicals\u00a0are known to cause cancer, and many are\u00a0toxic.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What Are The Symptoms Of Nasopharyngeal Cancer?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In its early stages, nasopharyngeal carcinoma may not cause any symptoms.

Most people with nasopharyngeal carcinoma have regional metastases. This means that cancer cells from the original tumor have spread to surrounding sites, such as lymph nodes in the neck. Cancer cells that move to other parts of the body (distant metastases) usually end up in the bones, lungs, and liver.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">How Is Nasopharyngeal Cancer Diagnosed?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Your healthcare practitioner will first discuss your medical history, followed by a physical examination. They may ask about your symptoms to better understand your condition. They may press on your neck to feel swelling in your lymph nodes. Tests and procedures used to diagnose nasopharyngeal cancer include:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Nasal Endoscopy:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A nasal endoscopy may be recommended if nasopharyngeal cancer is suspected. This test uses a tiny, flexible tube with a camera on the end to examine for abnormalities in your nasopharynx. The camera is put through your nose or a hole in your throat that leads into your nasopharynx. Local anesthesia may be used during nasal endoscopy.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Biopsy:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Your healthcare provider may use an endoscope to collect some tissue samples, which would then be tested in a lab for cancer.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Once the diagnosis is confirmed, your doctor orders other tests to determine the extent (stage) of the cancer, such as imaging tests.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Imaging tests may include:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Computerized tomography (CT)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Positron emission tomography (PET)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">X-ray<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Apart from these tests, you may also be tested for\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Epstein-Barr virus DNA levels,\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">as cancer is often linked to this virus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Nasopharyngeal Cancer Treatment In India<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">After carefully studying your symptoms and reports, your healthcare provider will advise a treatment plan for you. Many nasopharyngeal cancers can be cured with early diagnosis and timely treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Treatment for nasopharyngeal carcinoma usually begins with radiation therapy or a combination of radiation and chemotherapy, called\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">chemoradiation<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Other treatment plans include:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Chemotherapy:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0A treatment that uses drugs to destroy or slow down the growth of cancer cells. It is commonly used as an oral or intravenous therapy, circling throughout the body to reach cancer cells.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Radiation therapy:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Radiation therapy uses high-powered energy beams, such as X-rays or protons, to kill cancer cells. NPC is specifically sensitive to radiation, so this therapy is the first step in treatment plans.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Surgery:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Surgery, although a treatment option, is not preferred as the nasopharynx is challenging to operate on. However, surgery can remove the lymph nodes around the neck that haven&#8217;t responded to other treatments. Surgery is generalyy done to remove the small tumor that hasn&#8217;t spread beyonf teh nasopharynx.

For example, People with nasopharyngeal cancer can benefit from cetuximab injections. Cetuximab is a synthetic version of an immune system protein.
