Treatment of laryngeal cancer metastatic lymph nodes

What is the treatment method for laryngeal cancer metastasis to lymph nodes? Generally, early laryngeal cancer will not metastasize to other parts of the body. As the disease progresses, the condition worsens. When the disease develops to a certain stage, it will metastasize to other parts of the body in some ways. Lymph node metastasis is a common way, but there are many ways for laryngeal cancer patients to metastasize through lymph nodes. What is the treatment method for laryngeal cancer metastasis to lymph nodes? What is going on?

(1) Laryngeal cancer metastases to the lymph nodes: What are the symptoms of laryngeal cancer metastases to the lymph nodes? Laryngeal cancer metastases to the lymph nodes vary depending on the anatomical location. The supraglottic area is rich in lymphatic tissue, and the cancer cells are poorly differentiated. Lymph node metastasis often occurs earlier, with a metastasis rate of about 30% in general, and about 50% in the aryepiglottic folds. Most metastases are to the lymph nodes under the ventral muscles of the tongue. Vocal cord cancer rarely metastasizes in the early stages, unless the lesion exceeds the range of the vocal cords. The metastasis rate is about 10%, and most metastases are to the lymph nodes in front of the trachea, around the trachea, or in the middle of the internal jugular vein. What are the symptoms of laryngeal cancer metastases to the lymph nodes? Subglottic cancer is discovered later, and the metastasis rate is more than 10%. Most metastases are to the lymph nodes in the middle or lower areas of the trachea or internal jugular vein. Lymph nodes in the corresponding area are swollen and hard in texture. Laryngeal cancer causes pain in the throat and difficulty swallowing.

(2) Hematogenous metastasis: The systemic metastasis rate is about 1% to 4%, with the most common sites being the lungs, followed by the mediastinal lymph nodes, liver, bones, and pleura. Symptoms corresponding to laryngeal cancer metastasis to the lymph nodes may include cough, chest pain, pain in the liver area, jaundice, and bone pain.

What is the treatment for laryngeal cancer metastasis to lymph nodes? How to treat it?

Traditional treatments for laryngeal cancer lymph node metastasis, such as surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, are difficult to meet the needs of patients, so patients are recommended to use the latest tumor treatment technology, biological therapy. For patients with advanced tumors who have lost the opportunity for surgery or whose cancer cells have recurred or metastasized, it can relieve their clinical symptoms, and at the same time, the immune system gradually restores its balance, which can improve the patient's quality of life and prolong survival time.

Laryngeal cancer is very painful, especially when it metastasizes to the lymph nodes, which is very troublesome for patients and their families. As mentioned above, traditional surgical treatment is recommended after laryngeal cancer metastasizes. It is recommended to learn more about the relevant knowledge and wish you a speedy recovery.
