Overview
Nasopharyngoscopy may be helpful in the diagnosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Findings suggestive of/diagnostic of [disease name] include [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3].
OR
Other diagnostic studies for [disease name] include [diagnostic study 1], which demonstrates [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3], and [diagnostic study 2], which demonstrates [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3].
Other Diagnostic Studies
Nasopharyngoscopy
Nasopharyngoscopy may be helpful in the diagnosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. It is used for:[1][2][3]
- Assessement of tumor extension
- Determination of mucosal surface involvement
- Biopsy of the primary tumor
Fine Needle Aspiration
- Fine needle aspiration (FNA) for biopsy and histopathological analysis is the optimal method to diagnose nasopharyngeal carcinoma.[4]

Overview
Biopsy may be helpful in the diagnosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
Other Diagnostic Studies
All patients should have nasopharyngoscopy to determine the involvement of mucosal surfaces. This is also useful for a biopsy of the primary lesion.
A definitive diagnosis is made by endoscope-guided biopsy of the primary tumor. Incisional neck biopsy or nodal dissection should be avoided as this procedure will negatively impact in the subsequent treatment.
An endoscopic examination of the nasopharynx and upper airway should be done in all patients.
Fine needle aspiration (FNA) and biopsy may be helpful in the diagnosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
