[Carcinoma of the nasopharynx. Clinical signs and therapeutic problems]
Abstract:
Most of the carcinoma of the nasopharynx diagnosed in our country, are loco-regionally advanced disease. Thus 31/54 (57%) of our patients referred to the Centre Claudius Regaud between 1970 and 1980 were T2 N3, T3 N3, T4 N0 or N1 N2 N3. In spite of this poor initial presentation external radiotherapy can achieve a quite good rate of tumoral control inside the treated volume. In our series there were 17/47 (36%) tumoral and/or nodal recurrences and 7/47 (15%) metastases without local or regional failure. Improvement of initial évaluation of the tumoral volume is now obtained by the systematic use of C.A.T. and this procedure should reduce local failure rate. In the other hand, the association of chemotherapy and radiotherapy should be useful in treating advanced disease or poorly differentiated carcinomas with high metastatic risk.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...

Chronic Pharyngitis
Etiology
It often arises from persistent viral or bacterial infections affecting sinuses and tonsils.
Additional contributing factors include inadequate dental hygiene, mouth breathing, recurring tonsillitis, allergic rhinitis, laryngopharyngeal reflux, and exposure to smoke, chemicals, and other environmental pollutants. Allergic reactions to pollen, mold, and pet dander, chronic cough, excessive voice usage,...
