A member asked:
Two small soft tissue masses found in my nasopharynx. what is the chance they are cancer given that my brother has been diagnosed for npc recently?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: But possible. Brother with NPC does not really raise your risk unless of course you share the same risk factors. Your doc should have been able to look at these on CT scan or on nasopharyngoscope and give you a better read. A good look is better than any risk factor analysis....
