Nasal Tumors at CMC Dubai

Nasal tumors are abnormal growths that can occur in the nasal passages or sinuses. These tumors can be benign or malignant, and their symptoms and treatment options can vary depending on their location, size, and type.

The symptoms of nasal tumors may include:

• Persistent nasal congestion or blockage
• Nosebleeds
• Difficulty breathing through the nose
• Pain or pressure in the face or head
• Reduced sense of smell or taste
• Swelling around the eyes

If you suspect that you have a nasal tumor, it is important to see a healthcare professional as soon as possible. They can perform a physical exam and imaging tests, such as a CT scan or MRI, to confirm the diagnosis and determine the size and location of the tumor.

Treatment for nasal tumors may include:

• Surgery to remove the tumor
• Radiation therapy to shrink or destroy the tumor
• Chemotherapy or immunotherapy, in some cases
• Palliative care, in cases where the tumor cannot be completely removed or cured

The prognosis for nasal tumors can vary depending on their type and stage, as well as the age and overall health of the patient. It is important to work closely with a healthcare team to develop an appropriate treatment plan and monitor the progress of the tumor over time.
