Hello. I'm 35 year old male and I suffer from asthma for several years now. I like to read a lot especially about things that affect ear passage ways. I have realized that these last couple of months there were a lot of talks about some sinus cancer.
To be honest with you, I'm not sure I have heard that such thing even exists. That’s why I would like to hear more about it.
What are the symptoms and how serious it really is?
If we are talking about sinus cancer- do we talk about bone cancer because sinuses for me are just holes in bone? I really doubt it could be that simple!
Hi. Being a medical student gave me chances to read more about all kinds of cancer and among them- sinus cancer was just recently!
You seams to be very intelligent and thinking in a right direction- there are some things you simply don’t know.
Although sinuses are nothing more then air pockets in the bones of the face -sinus cancers typically arise from the lining of the sinus, a tissue known as mucosa. Only small percent of all sinus cancers develop from bone. In most cases, early symptoms of sinus cancer are nosebleeds, tooth pain, and a persistently stuffy nose. Like with all cancers prognosis is unknown because it depends form the time of detection, localization and possible spreading.
Is small cell carcinoma in the sinus cavity of your face treatable, and what are your chances of survival?
