Nasopharyngeal Cancer (NPC) by ijam..a117678

Last day I was told about treatment for cancer,
today I would like to tell about one example of cancer.
It is nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC).
This cancer is developing in the nasopharynx,
an area in the back of the nose toward the base of skull.
Mostly, for this cancer they will do the three treatments.
Firstly they will have operation to remove the lump
then follow up with chemo and radiotherapy.
The basic symptom for this cancer is patients will has migraine,
nose bleeding and others. This cancer is popular in China
and in Malaysia it always occurs to Chinese.
When patients done all the three treatment they will get
some effects, there is lower content of saliva and
it makes the mouth become dry. This effect is due to the
radiotherapy and it is permanent.
