Acerca del cáncer de nariz y de senos paranasales
El cáncer de nariz y senos paranasales es una enfermedad rara, por lo que tiende a confundirse con problemas más comunes de la nariz como una infección de los senos paranasales. Si experimenta síntomas desagradables o incómodos en la cavidad nasal o detrás de ella (especialmente durante un período de tiempo prolongado), es fundamental que consulte a un médico de inmediato, ya que la detección temprana puede hacer que el cáncer de los senos paranasales sea mucho más tratable, teniendo en cuenta las diversas formas de terapia innovadora.
¿Dónde se encuentra el cáncer de los senos paranasales?
Las células de cáncer de los senos paranasales se manifiestan como tumores en la cavidad nasal, particularmente en el seno maxilar. Estos tumores de la cavidad nasal se forman típicamente en uno de estos dos lugares:
- El área alrededor de la nariz donde se produce el moco
- El espacio detrás de la nariz que permite que el aire pase a través de los conductos nasales hacia los pulmones
¿Cómo impactan los tumores de la cavidad nasal a su cuerpo?
En las etapas iniciales, los tumores se forman en los conductos nasales. Una vez que los pólipos nasales han crecido lo suficiente, el cáncer puede extenderse a regiones de tejido local de la cabeza y la garganta. Si no se controla, el grupo de células cancerosas eventualmente se moverá a otras regiones del cuerpo.
¿Existen diferentes tipos de cáncer de la nariz y de los senos paranasales?
El cáncer de cavidad nasal y el cáncer de los senos paranasales son los dos tipos de cáncer principales que se forman en la cabeza y el cuello. Las células cancerosas tienden a caracterizarse como:
- Carcinoma de células escamosas
- Carcinoma de células de la mucosa
Estadísticas del cáncer de los senos paranasales
Este es un tipo de cáncer muy poco común. Cada año, sólo 2.000 personas son diagnosticadas con cáncer de cavidad nasal o de los senos paranasales en los Estados Unidos. Se vuelve más común a medida que la gente envejece, ya que un 80% de los casos diagnosticados con carcinoma de células escamosas o de células de la mucosa son mayores de 50 años.
Causas y factores de riesgo
Se desconoce la causa específica del cáncer de los senos paranasales. Sin embargo, sabemos que hay factores de riesgo involucrados, que incluyen:
- Exposición en el trabajo – Ciertas líneas de trabajo conllevan un mayor riesgo, en particular si implican pequeñas partículas que permanecen en el aire e invaden la nariz, como por ejemplo:
- Polvo de madera
- Polvo textil
- Polvo de cuero
- Harina
- Polvo de níquel y cromo
- Gas mostaza
- Radio
- Pegamentos
- Disolventes
- Formaldehído
- Fumar
- VPH
- Tratamiento del retinoblastoma hereditario
Detección temprana, diagnóstico y estadio
Signos y síntomas del cáncer de senos paranasales
Los síntomas del cáncer de senos paranasales se manifiestan típicamente en un lado. Los síntomas comunes del paciente afectado incluyen:
- Abultamiento en un ojo
- Ojos llorosos constantes
- Ganglios linfáticos agrandados
- Crecimiento de la nariz, la cara o el paladar
- Dolor de cabeza
- Pérdida de audición
- Congestión nasal persistente
- Pérdida del olfato
- Entumecimiento o dolor en la cara
- Dolor por encima o por debajo de los ojos
- Dolor o presión en un oído
- Goteo post-nasal
- Pus que drena por la nariz
- Los dientes se aflojan o se entumecen
- Problemas para abrir la boca
Las diferentes etapas del cáncer de los senos paranasales
El cáncer de los senos paranasales tiende a pasar por varias etapas que van de 0 a IV. Estas son:
- Etapa 0 – El tumor primario está sólo en la capa superior de células que recubren el seno maxilar, y no ha crecido más profundamente. No hay células cancerosas en los nódulos linfáticos o en regiones distantes del cuerpo. El tumor en esta etapa es mínimamente invasivo y localizado.
- Etapa I – El tumor primario crece más profundo, pero sólo en la mucosa – la piel que recubre la cavidad del seno paranasal – y no ha penetrado en el hueso. El cáncer no está en los nódulos linfáticos, ni en las partes distantes del cuerpo.
- Etapa II – El tumor ha comenzado a penetrar en el hueso del seno paranasal, pero no en los huesos de la parte posterior. El cáncer todavía no se ha extendido a otras partes, en particular a los ganglios linfáticos.
- Etapa III – El tumor ha alcanzado la pared posterior – los huesos de la parte posterior de la cavidad nasal – o el tejido del seno etmoidal, o la cuenca del ojo. El cáncer puede haberse extendido a un solo nódulo linfático.
- Etapa IV – El tumor está creciendo en las regiones alrededor de la cavidad nasal, incluyendo la mejilla, la cuenca del ojo y la parte superior de la nariz. El cáncer puede haberse propagado a múltiples nódulos linfáticos u otras regiones del cuerpo.
