Dr. Xu Zhizhong: Can rhinitis turn into nasopharyngeal cancer? How to improve rhinitis?

Many rhinitis patients often worry that rhinitis will turn into nasopharyngeal cancer. In fact, rhinitis is an inflammation, and it is generally unlikely to turn into nasal cancer. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a highly malignant tumor. It is a high-incidence area in the Pearl River Delta of China, and the incidence in Wuhan is moderate. As for the pathogenesis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, it is still unclear, only that the disease is familial, and is related to EB virus infection and environmental factors. So far, there is no clear evidence in the medical community that stimulation with chronic inflammation can cause nasal malignancy. This is not to say that rhinitis and nasopharyngeal cancer have nothing to do, because EB virus can cause upper respiratory tract infection, and sometimes this infection can cause rhinitis symptoms.

What is worrying is that the symptoms of nasal cancer are similar to those of rhinitis, including headaches and blocked nose, which makes some patients, especially those with a history of rhinitis, often come for treatment at an advanced stage. If you often have blood in the sputum (that is, the blood in the sputum spit out after taking a breath), a typical symptom of nasopharyngeal cancer, you must see a doctor. In addition, ringing in the ears and a lump in the upper neck (advanced symptoms) can also be signs of nasopharyngeal cancer.
