Cancer of the nose, also known as nasal cancer, is a rare type of cancer that starts in the cells of the nose. There are several types of nasal cancer, including squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and olfactory neuroblastoma, among others.
Symptoms of nasal cancer may include a persistent stuffy or runny nose, nosebleeds, difficulty breathing through one or both nostrils, pain or pressure in the sinuses or face, and a lump or growth in the nose or on the face.
Risk factors for nasal cancer include exposure to certain chemicals and substances, such as wood dust, leather dust, and formaldehyde, as well as tobacco use and a history of radiation therapy to the head and neck.
Treatment for nasal cancer depends on the type and stage of the cancer, as well as the patient's overall health and preferences. Treatment may involve surgery to remove the cancerous tissue, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of these approaches.
If you are experiencing symptoms of nasal cancer or have concerns about your risk for this type of cancer, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for an evaluation and personalized advice.
