Improved technique for the diagnosis of atypical nasopharyngeal cancer.
This article presents an improved technique for the diagnosis of atypical nasopharyngeal carcinoma tumor at deep sites beneath mucosa. It includes: 1. using spherical gauze to rub the nasopharyngeal cavity for exfoliative cytology; 2. using 1% H2O2 stain in the nasopharyngeal cavity to direct biopsy for suspected early carcinoma; 3. using multiple-hole needle puncture in the nasopharynx. These methods are simple, safe, quick, and have a high positive rate.
