So what exactly is nasopharyngeal cancer? Why does nasopharyngeal cancer, which bear the title of "Cantonese cancer", "love" people in Guangdong and surrounding areas so much?
1. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is commonly known as "Cantonese cancer"
More than 70% of newly diagnosed nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients are already in the middle and advanced stages, which is mainly related to the concealment of the onset of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and the unspecific early symptoms. Over time, nasopharyngeal carcinoma will gradually invade the brain and nerves, metastasize to the lymph nodes of the neck, and even the lungs, and the symptoms will become more and more serious!
It is reported that nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a malignant tumor with a high incidence in southern my country. It usually occurs in middle-aged and middle-aged men, with the highest peak at the age of 40 to 70. In particular, Zhaoqing, Foshan and Guangzhou in the central and western parts of Guangdong are high-incidence areas in my country, so they are also called "Cantonese tumors" or "Cantonese cancers". They are the only tumors named after regions. The reasons for this regional clustering are related to People in these areas carry a susceptibility gene.
According to research findings, the average interval between patients with nasopharyngeal cancer after discovering their tinnitus, bleeds, and neck tumors is 4.7 months. As a result, many patients have reached the advanced stage of the disease and the cure rate has been significantly reduced; The statistical analysis of the study also found that if nasopharyngeal cancer patients find their own discomfort within one month to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment, the average stage of the patient is stage II, and the cure rate is as high as 80-90%.
It is not terrible to have nasopharyngeal cancer, because the cure rate of early nasopharyngeal cancer is close to 100%, and the curative effect in the middle and late stages is significantly worse than that in the early stage, so early diagnosis and treatment is the most important treatment for nasopharyngeal cancer!
2. Pay attention to these symptoms!
Nasal congestion, blood in the nose, headache...These symptoms are very similar to colds, but they are also similar to the early symptoms of nasopharyngeal cancer. If the nose is congested and bloody in the nose caused by a cold, it can be recovered in the short term, but if the symptoms persist and there are Exacerbation (the same goes for headaches), especially if the first mouthful of blood is found in the morning, you must go to the hospital for diagnosis in time. If you have a family history of tumors, you must be more careful!
Early symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma:
Nasal congestion, nasal discharge, especially respiration (spitting out a black bloody sputum when brushing your teeth in the morning), tinnitus, and hearing loss.
Late symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma:
The common symptoms are a lump in the neck, numb face, persistent headache, double vision. If there is a long-term bone headache, persistent cough, chest pain, or even hemoptysis and ascites, it is already very advanced.
3. What factors are closely related to nasopharyngeal cancer
1. Genetic factors:
(1) Family gathering phenomenon: Many patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma have family history of cancer;
(2) Ethnic susceptibility: Nasopharyngeal cancer is mainly seen in people of the yellow race, who have moved to other places or lived abroad, and their descendants still have a higher incidence.
2. Virus infection:
In 1964, for the first time, a lymphoblast cell line that could be passed down was established from a biopsy of African childhood lymphoma. Herpes virus particles can be seen under the electron microscope. Because it has different characteristics from other members of the herpes virus family, it is also named EB virus.
3. Environmental factors: surveys show that
Babies in areas with a high incidence of nasopharyngeal cancer in Guangdong Province have salted fish and waxy flavors in their first contact after weaning. Eating salted fish and pickled foods are high-risk factors for nasopharyngeal cancer in southern China, and are related to the age of eating salted fish, the period of consumption, frequency and cooking methods. These foods contain nitrosamine precursor nitrite.
4. Who are the high-risk groups for nasopharyngeal cancer?
1. People with a family history of tumors, especially those with a family history of nasopharyngeal carcinoma;
2. People who live in areas with a high incidence of nasopharyngeal cancer for a long time, such as Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Hainan, Hunan and Jiangxi, Hong Kong and Southeast Asia;
3. People infected with EB virus, especially those whose quantitative examination of EB virus continues to increase;
4. People with bad habits, such as addicted to tobacco and alcohol, good pickled food;
5. People with serious living and working environment pollution;
6. Those with suspicious symptoms and signs, such as bloody nose and blood sputum, ear stuffiness, tinnitus, nasal congestion, headache, neck mass and nasopharyngeal inflammation. Therefore, early detection and early diagnosis are the most important.
