Disease description:
Recently, the weather has turned cold, and I’ve been experiencing persistent runny nose; sometimes, I also have frequent nosebleeds. I’m worried it might be nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Could you please tell me what symptoms are associated with nasopharyngeal carcinoma?

Hello,
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is relatively rare compared to other types of cancer; however, its symptoms can significantly impact the patient’s health. Typical symptoms of NPC primarily include nasal obstruction and purulent or blood-tinged nasal discharge. Additionally, patients often experience noticeable pain near the tumor site in the nasopharynx, and swelling may also occur.
We hope the above information is helpful to you. Wishing you a happy and healthy life!
