Hi doctor! Can the doctor help me advise on what are the symptoms of throat cancer? I would like to thank the doctor.

Nasopharyngeal cancer is a rapidly progressive disease, if not detected and treated early, the patient's survival time is very short. Initially, the disease only showed symptoms in the nasopharynx, but when the disease has metastasized, the symptoms are also expressed in the organs where the cancer cells have metastasized.

Nasopharyngeal cancer is one of the 10 most common types of cancer today with a very high mortality rate. On average, for every 100,000 people, about 20-50 people have nasopharyngeal cancer (statistics in epidemiological areas). Around this disease, many people wonder if nasopharyngeal cancer is contagious?

In Vietnam, nasopharyngeal cancer ranks first among head and neck cancers and fifth among cancers in general. Such is the high incidence, but the symptoms of the disease are atypical
