Sunway Medical Centre Velocity (SMCV) Consultant Clinical Oncologist, Dr Hafizah Zaharah Ahmad, explains that symptoms are often initially managed as sinusitis, allergies or ear infections, stressing the importance of recognising the disease when symptoms persist.
SMCV Consultant Ear, Nose, Throat and Head and Neck Surgeon, Dr David Yee Leong Wai, says endoscopic techniques allow surgeons to access the nasopharynx through the nasal passages, reducing surgical trauma and supporting improved recovery and quality of life.
Sinusitis is also a common sign which is often overlooked when it comes to nasopharyngeal cancer - prevalent in Asian men between 40 to 60 years old.
