A rare type of cancer, NPC (nasopharyngeal cancer), starts in the nasopharynx, the upper part of the throat above the nose. The majority are associated with EBV, smoking or certain dietary habits, and genetics.
Common symptoms include nasal congestion or blockages that last longer than a day or two, as well as lumps or swelling of the neck, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), or hearing loss; advanced cases include facial numbness or headaches.
While the exact cause is unclear, several risk factors include Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection, a diet consisting of salt-cured foods, or smoking and alcohol consumption.
While it may not always be preventable, you can reduce the risk by avoiding tobacco and alcohol, keeping yourself healthy by diet and lifestyle, and timely consulting a nasopharyngeal cancer specialist in Delhi.
