Understand this condition

The nasopharynx lies behind the nasal cavity. Cancer here differs from oral-cavity and laryngeal cancer.

How it is assessed

ENT endoscopy and biopsy assess tissue. MRI, spread assessment, and relevant EBV-related tests can inform planning.

Care pathways

Radiotherapy is important; medicines may be combined according to stage and patient factors. Swallowing, hearing, dental health, and nutrition need monitoring.

Important distinctions & limits

A neck lump or blocked ear does not automatically mean cancer. Persistent symptoms require direct assessment rather than diagnosis from photos or chat.

Watch first. Understand more easily.

One diagnosis, several care specialties

Read the video transcript
  1. Understand the disease type first. An organ name is not enough. Pathology, stage, and general condition give context.
  2. Each specialty has a role. Medical, radiation, and surgical oncology may work together according to the case.
  3. An MDT brings perspectives together. A multidisciplinary team discusses findings and options. Team composition depends on the case.
  4. Bring clear questions. BKC supports coordination. Diagnosis and medical decisions remain with licensed clinicians.
