Hypopharyngeal cancer occurs in the hypopharyngeal area and often manifests symptoms such as foreign body sensation in the pharynx, obstructive sensation in swallowing and blood in sputum, while nasopharyngeal cancer mainly occurs in the top and side wall of nasopharynx, and often manifests symptoms such as blood in the runny nose, nasal congestion, ringing in the ears, headache, hearing loss and so on. Hypopharyngeal cancer can be treated by surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, etc. Early hypopharyngeal cancer can improve patients’ quality of life through timely treatment.

When diagnosed with hypopharyngeal cancer or nasopharyngeal cancer, timely treatment should be carried out to avoid delaying the condition and affecting health.
