Getting diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer

You should see your GP if you notice a change that isn't normal for you or you have any possible symptoms of cancer.

Your GP might refer you to a specialist if you have symptoms that could be caused by nasopharyngeal cancer.

You have a number of tests to check for nasopharyngeal cancer. The tests you might have include a nasoendoscopy and ultrasound scan.

There is no national screening programme for nasopharyngeal cancer in the UK. Screening means testing people for early stages of a disease before they have any symptoms.
