What are symptoms of nasal cavity cancer?”
Nasal cavity cancer occurs when there are cancer (malignant) cells found in the tissues of the nasal cavity. The nasal cavity is located behind the nose–it is the passageway through which air travels on the way to the throat. Nasal cavity cancer usually starts in the cells that line the oropharynx. In order to diagnose nasal cavity cancer, you must visit your doctor for x-rays and testing. Instructions Things You’ll Need: Medical evaluation Physical examination X-rays MRI Scan CT Scan Biopsy Step 1 Determine if you have any symptoms of nasal cavity cancer. Some of the common signs of nasal cavity cancer includes blockage of one side of the nose, pain in the sinus region, decreased sense of smell, nosebleeds, pain above or below the eyes, frequent headaches and a lump or sore that doesn’t heal inside the nose. Step 2 Schedule an appointment with your doctor. You should visit your medical doctor as soon as possible if you have any of the symptoms listed in Step one. Step 3 Go to your sc
– Early nasal cavity cancer is largely asymptomatic (displays no signs or symptoms). Thus, nasal cavity cancer is often not diagnosed until the tumor has grown quite large, or the cancer has spread to other areas of the body. Possible nasal cavity cancer symptoms may include the following: nosebleeds, persistent congestion, pain or pressure around the eyes or ears, one-sided nasal obstruction, frequent headaches, a runny nose, enlarged lymph nodes, facial numbness or tingling, pain in the upper teeth, or a growth/mass in the nose. Since these symptoms may resemble other conditions unrelated to nasal cavity cancer, it is important to consult with a medical professional for an accurate diagnosis.
