My mother has laryngeal cancer, will it be inherited?

Laryngeal cancer, like other malignant tumors such as colon cancer and stomach cancer, is not directly inherited, but has a certain genetic tendency. It is generally believed that cancer is not an infectious disease and is not contagious. However, it is possible to inherit it. This genetic disease is not a direct transmission of the disease itself, but a susceptibility inheritance. The same is true for laryngeal cancer.

People with a family history of laryngeal cancer will inherit chromosomal abnormalities, which can lead to some immune function defects, thereby reducing the body's resistance, increasing the sensitivity to carcinogens, and increasing the risk of disease.

The genetic tendency of laryngeal cancer only shows that people with a family history of the disease have a higher risk of disease than ordinary people, but it does not necessarily lead to the disease. Any kind of cancer, including laryngeal cancer, is the result of the combined action of internal and external factors. Internal factors need to be stimulated by external factors to work. In the occurrence of laryngeal cancer, external factors such as radiation exposure, viral infection, and smoking play a more important role. These factors lead to strong stimulation of the larynx, causing cells to actively respond to these stimuli. Susceptible constitutions are more susceptible to carcinogens and induce laryngeal cancer.

Although laryngeal cancer has a certain genetic factor, laryngeal cancer in the previous generation does not necessarily lead to the disease in the next generation. Expectant mothers do not need to worry about the disease being passed on to their offspring and terminate their pregnancy. As long as they take proper precautions and pay attention to screening, the risk of disease can be completely reduced.

If the tumor has invaded local lymph and blood vessels, the pelvic lymph nodes must be removed. For stage Ia2 cervical cancer, a total hysterectomy should be performed, and the pelvic lymph nodes should be removed, combined with radiotherapy. If the patient is very young, you can consider retaining her ovaries. For mid- and late-stage cervical cancer, radiotherapy is the main treatment method, and chemotherapy can also be combined with it to control symptoms. For advanced cervical cancer, radiotherapy is the main treatment method, and cytotoxic drugs should also be used for chemotherapy. Cisplatin is the most widely used single-agent chemotherapy, and it is generally necessary to combine it with drugs such as ifosfamide and paclitaxel for synergistic chemotherapy. Patients should understand their clinical stage when seeing a doctor, and cooperate with their doctors to strive for better therapeutic effects.
