The nasopharynx is the upper part of the pharynx, connecting with the nasal cavity above the soft palate that allows a person to breathe through the nose.
Nasopharyngeal cancer is a medical condition characterized by cells growth irregularly and disorderly in the tissues of the nasopharynx.
Most cases of nasopharyngeal cancer start in the cells on the surface of the inner lining of the nasopharynx. The early stage of nasopharyngeal cancer is asymptomatic due to the very small size of the tumor.
However, at the advanced stage, the oversize may suppress the nearby nerves and blood vessels, leading to severe throat pain and symptoms of a lump in your neck blood in the saliva, bloody discharged from your nose, particularly, persistent nasal congestion or ringing in your ears, accompanied with the general symptoms shared with other cancers.
According to the statistics provided by the American cancer society, nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) is quite rare in the United States). The risk of cancer is less than one case for every 100,000 people.
Epidemiologically, some patients at this stage may also experience symptoms of frequent ear infections, hearing loss and headaches.
If you have some of the aforementioned symptoms, please check with your doctor to rule out the possibility.
The exact causes of nasopharyngeal cancer are unknown. Gender, family history, ethnicity, where you live, poor diet, infected by the Epstein-Barr virus are some of the prevalent factors of nasopharyngeal cancer.
On finding potential and plant-based compound for the treatment of nasopharyngeal cancer, researchers examined the antitumor effects of DIM in a long-term low-dose manner in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).
Furthermore, according to assays, DIM significantly reduced the proliferation and migration of without inducing apoptosis.
Moreover, in order to reveal more information about DIM antitumor efficacy, researchers launched an investigation of the pro-apoptotic and anti-proliferative effects of 3,3'-diindolylmethane (DIM) in various tumor cell types.
The mRNA and protein expression of hTERT which is a catalytic component of human telomerase and used as a biomarker of a tumor was inhibited following treatment with DIM without causing a change of telomerase RNA (hTR).
Taken altogether, 3,3'-Diindolylmethane may be considered a supplement for the prevention and treatment of nasopharyngeal cancer, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
