How to prevent laryngeal cancer

Since laryngeal cancer is a relatively common disease in our lives, we should pay attention to the occurrence of this disease in our daily lives, actively prevent it, protect our throats, and adjust our daily diet. Today we have invited an expert to introduce to us in detail the effective prevention methods for laryngeal cancer.

How to prevent laryngeal cancer?

1. Don’t drink alcohol

Long-term heavy drinking causes congestion and edema in the throat, and leads to malnutrition and low immune function, laying the foundation for the formation of cancer.

2. No smoking

Prevent laryngeal cancer. Smoking can directly damage the organ and cause laryngeal cancer. The longer you smoke, the higher the incidence of laryngeal cancer. Nicotine, coal tar and benzopyrene produced in cigarettes are all carcinogens.

3. Stay away from chemical carcinogens

Chemical carcinogens related to laryngeal cancer include sulfur dioxide, chromium, arsenic, etc. The living and production environment is polluted by air. Inhaling the above harmful gases and dust will damage the throat, so protection must be done.

4. Prevent the harm of bad eating habits

To prevent laryngeal cancer, some people often eat hot pot, malatang and other stimulating foods with friends regardless of winter or summer. Such long-term eating habits are harmful not only to the throat, but also to the eyes, trachea, lungs, esophagus, stomach, etc., which can not only cause diseases, but also worsen and form cancer.

5. Be cautious when exposed to radiation

Radiation is a carcinogen. When the neck is examined or treated multiple times or in large doses, it is necessary to protect it from damage, otherwise it will create conditions for the formation of laryngeal cancer. In normal times, radiation examinations should be reduced as much as possible.

6. Pay attention to precancerous lesions

Prevention of laryngeal cancer: laryngeal leukoplakia is a precancerous lesion of laryngeal cancer. It is a white patch on the mucosa of the vocal cords due to poor keratinization of the mucosal epithelium. It is a pathological change caused by upper respiratory tract infection, smoking, harmful gas stimulation, excessive use of voice, etc. It is closely related to the formation of laryngeal cancer and must be actively prevented and treated. In addition, laryngeal keratosis, chronic hypertrophic laryngitis, papilloma, etc., should be closely observed and actively prevented and treated.

If you want to really stay away from laryngeal cancer, you should pay attention to it in your daily life. In addition to quitting smoking and drinking, you should also stay away from chemical carcinogens, adjust your daily diet scientifically, avoid exposure to radiation, and actively treat various throat diseases. If you can do these things, you can avoid the occurrence of this disease.
