As long as we understand the causes of laryngeal cancer in our daily lives, we can prevent it well.

(1) Chronic inflammatory stimulation such as chronic laryngitis or respiratory tract inflammation.

(2) Tobacco smoke can stop or slow the movement of cilia, causing mucosal edema and bleeding, and causing epithelial hyperplasia, thickening, and squamous metaplasia, which become the basis for laryngeal cancer.

(3) Excessive drinking: Long-term stimulation of the mucosa can cause it to degenerate and lead to laryngeal cancer.

(4) Viral infection is closely related to the occurrence of cancer. It is generally believed that viruses can change the nature of cells and cause abnormal division; viruses can attach to genes and be passed on to the next generation of cells, causing cancer.

(5) Air pollution: Long-term inhalation of harmful gases such as sulfur dioxide and industrial dust such as chromium and arsenic can easily lead to laryngeal cancer.

(6) Sex hormones: Relevant experiments have shown that the percentage of estrogen receptor-positive cells in laryngeal cancer patients is significantly increased.

(7) Precancerous lesions: Repeated attacks of laryngeal keratosis and benign laryngeal tumors such as laryngeal papilloma are the causes of laryngeal cancer.

(8) Radiation: Using radiation to treat neck tumors can cause cancer.

Now that we know the causes of laryngeal cancer, we should think about whether we have the habits mentioned in the article. If so, it is recommended that we change them as soon as possible and strengthen physical exercise, so that laryngeal cancer will not have the opportunity to invade our body.
