Treatment and mortality rate of laryngeal cancer

What is the mortality rate of laryngeal cancer? Some statistical reports in my country show that the incidence of laryngeal cancer in cities is much higher than in rural areas. If it can be detected and treated early, the effect is still relatively good. Some people are more concerned about the treatment methods of laryngeal cancer. The following is a detailed introduction to the treatment methods. Let's take a look!

Now, if laryngeal cancer is found early, it is very likely to be cured. So what are the common treatments for laryngeal cancer? Sooner or later, it is still a kind of cancer. It is one of the common malignant tumors of the head and neck. This disease brings great pain to patients when it occurs, and it is also a cause of panic in many patients.

There are three types of surgical procedures for laryngeal cancer:

One type is micro-laser laryngeal surgery:

Laser surgery is increasingly being used in the treatment of laryngeal cancer. The advantages of microscopic laser laryngeal surgery for the treatment of early laryngeal cancer are that there is no incision on the neck, minimal trauma, accuracy and reliability, and rapid recovery. Generally, patients only need to stay in the hospital for 5 to 7 days, which reduces the patient's pain, greatly shortens the hospitalization time, and also reduces the patient's financial burden. Microscopic laser laryngeal surgery is indicated for early laryngeal cancer. We have found that CO2 laser resection of laryngeal cancer under microscopic laryngoscope should be limited to T1 lesions and some T2 lesions. Microscopic laser surgery for laryngeal cancer has been widely reported abroad, is widely used, and has satisfactory results. The 5-year survival rate of T1 lesions of vocal cord cancer is over 90%, which is consistent with the results of laryngeal dehiscence surgery and radiotherapy.

Another type is partial laryngectomy.

It is mainly suitable for patients with glottic laryngeal cancer T1, T2 and part of T3 lesions, and patients with supraglottic laryngeal cancer T1, T2, T3 and part of T4 lesions. According to the location of the lesion and the range of resection, it is divided into vertical hemi-laryngectomy, horizontal hemi-laryngectomy, horizontal and vertical hemi-laryngectomy, subtotal laryngectomy, etc. This is based on the complete resection of laryngeal cancer, safely retaining the normal part of the larynx, and repairing and restoring the full or partial function of the larynx. About 65% of laryngeal cancer patients are suitable for this type of surgery.

Another type is total laryngectomy.

About 30% of patients with advanced laryngeal cancer are not suitable for various types of partial laryngectomy due to the wide range of the tumor. Since the entire larynx is removed, these patients lose their laryngeal function after surgery and need to rebuild their pronunciation function so that they can return to work and social interaction.
