Wetin na dis `(Parotid Gland Tumor)`? Fɔ put am rili simpul wan...

Fɔ tɔk am simpul wan, Parotid Gland Tumor na wan abnɔmal lump ɔ tumor we de divɛlɔp na di parotid gland, we de bifo yu yes ɛn na di chɛst. di parotid gland na di big wan pan di tri men saliva gland dεm na wi mכt. I de bifo yu yes.

Naw, tu kayn nɛt ya kin de:

1. Tכmכro dεm we nכ de kכnεs (Benign): Na dεn wan ya de mכst kכmכn. Wi kin kɔl dɛn tin ya bak "inosɛnt tɔŋ dɛm." Dɛn tin ya nɔ kin skata to ɔda pat dɛn na di bɔdi.

2. Malignant tumors: Na dɛn wan ya denja pas ɔl. Bikɔs dɛn mek dɛn wit kansa sɛl dɛn, if dɛn nɔ trit dɛn, dɛn kin gro ɛn go na ɔda pat dɛn na di bɔdi. kansa tכmכro we de fכm na di parotid gland na di kכmכn kayn kεnsar we de apin na di saliva gland dεm.

Bɔt nɔ wɔri, ɔl tu di kayn tumbu dɛn nɔ kin bɔku . Ɔlsay na di wɔl, kansa na di ia drɔm tɔmɔs kin apin to lɛk wan pan ɛvri 100,000 pipul dɛn. Pan ɔl we dɛn nɔ gɛt ɛni rayt data bɔt ɔmɔs pipul dɛn kin gɛt tumbu we nɔ gɛt kansa, dɔktɔ dɛn se di nɔmba kin bi ɛnisay frɔm wan to siks pipul dɛn pan ɛvri 100,000.

If wi gɛt tumbu lɛk dis, us sayn dɛn wi kin fil?

If yu gɛt parotid gland tumor, di men sayn na we yu gɛt lump ɔ swel bifo yu yes . Dis na di fɔs tin we bɔku pipul dɛn kin notis.

Bɔt, wan tumbu we gɛt kansa kin mek pɔsin fil pen pas wan tumbu we nɔ gɛt kansa. Apat frɔm dat, wan tumbu we gɛt kansa kin gɛt dɛn sayn ya bak:

• Di lump tan lɛk wund ɔ ɔlsa.
• Fɔ fil lɛk se yu nɔ ebul fɔ du na da eria de.

Bɔku tɛm, dɛn ia drɔm tumbu ya kin gro sloslo . Yu kin gɛt dɛn tumbu ya fɔ sɔm mɔnt, ia, ɔ ivin fɔ bɔku bɔku ia ɛn yu nɔ kin gɛt ɛni sayn. Bɔku tɛm, dɛn kin no di tumbu bay chans we dɛn de du imej tɛst, lɛk CT skan ɔ MRI skan, fɔ ɔda wɛlbɔdi prɔblɛm.

Wetin mek tumbu dɛn lɛk dis kin fɔm? Wetin na di tin dɛn we kin mek i apin?

Infakt, dɔktɔ dɛn stil nɔ no bɛtɛ bɛtɛ wan wetin kin mek dɛn tumbu ya we gɛt kansa ɛn we nɔ gɛt kansa fɔm. Bɔt sɔm tin dɛn de we risach dɔn sho. Fɔ ɛgzampul:

• Yuz tabak: Pipul wae de smok kin gɛt bɔrku risk fɔ gɛt dɛn kayn tumbu ya.
• Radiation therapy: If yu bin dɔn gɛt redyushɔn tɛrapi fɔ kansa na yu ed ɔ yu nɛk, dɛn kin tink se dis kin afɛkt dis bak.

Dis na di men tin dɛm wae kin mek pɔrsin gɛt dis sik wae dɛn dɔn no naw.

Aw dɔktɔ kin no kɔrɛkt wan se yu gɛt Parotid Gland Tumor?

We yu si dɔktɔ wit wan lump lɛk dis, di fɔs tin we dɛn go du na fɔ tek tɛm chɛk yu ed ɛn nɛk. Dɛn go aks yu aw lɔng yu dɔn gɛt di lump, if i de big, ɛn if i de pen. Dɔn, dɛn kin du sɔm tɛst dɛn, lɛk:
