Cancer nose
Cancer nose is a term used to describe a nose that has been deformed by cancer. This deformity is often caused by the spread of a cancerous tumor from the nose to other parts of the face. This can lead to a misshapen nose, with a lump or bump on the bridge or a flattened tip. Cancer can also cause the lining of the nose to become ulcerated and eroded, leading to a hole in the nose. The deformity caused by cancer nose is often disfiguring and can cause physical and psychological distress to the person affected. It is important to seek medical attention if a person notices any changes to their nose that could be indicative of a cancerous tumor. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential for successful outcomes. Treatment options may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, or a combination of these.
