Nasal Cancer

Nasal Cancer

Cancer can appear anywhere in the body.  This includes the lining of the nasal cavity and the nearby paranasal sinuses when employees are exposed to wood dust.

Your nostrils lead to the nasal cavity which is the space above the roof of your mouth. This cavity curves down at the back of the throat to connect with the mouth.

The nasal cavity warms and moistens the air we breathe and helps to filter out small particles and harmful bacteria. It also has small receptors that are responsible for smell.
