Sinusitis does not usually lead to nasopharyngeal cancer, and it is less likely that sinusitis will turn into sinus cancer.
Nasopharyngeal cancer mainly manifests as nasal blockage, blood in retracted snot, blood in nose blowing, tinnitus on one side of the ear, sensation of occlusion in the ear as well as hearing loss, headache, facial numbness, diplopia as well as enlarged lymph nodes in the neck.
Environmental factors, nitrosamines, trace elements such as nickel, EBV infection, genetic factors and other causes may trigger nasopharyngeal cancer.
Patients with sinusitis mainly show cold, fever, dizziness and headache, loss of appetite, memory loss, constipation and other systemic symptoms, as well as nasal congestion, retention of snot, headache or localized pain and other symptoms.
Sinusitis does not necessarily turn into nasopharyngeal cancer, but it should be promptly consulted and actively cooperate with the treatment under the doctor’s clear diagnosis.
