Is laryngeal cancer hereditary in the family?

There is no clear research report on the impact of genetic factors on the occurrence of laryngeal cancer. However, genetic susceptibility makes the offspring of the family who have suffered from this disease have a much higher chance of suffering from laryngeal cancer than the general population. It is recommended to reduce tobacco and alcohol, eat less stimulating food, develop a healthy and good lifestyle, and have regular physical examinations. Ginsenoside Rh2 is the most effective active ingredient in ginseng, which can improve the body's immune function, increase disease resistance, and inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells and induce apoptosis.

The main causes of laryngeal cancer are:

(1) Smoking: Tobacco burning can produce tobacco tar, of which benzopyrene can cause cancer. Tobacco smoke can stop or slow the movement of cilia, causing mucosal edema and bleeding, and causing epithelial hyperplasia, thickening, and squamous metaplasia, which is the basis for carcinogenesis.

(2) Excessive drinking: Long-term stimulation of the mucous membrane can cause it to degenerate and cause cancer;

(3) Chronic inflammatory irritation such as chronic laryngitis or respiratory tract inflammation;

(4) Air pollution: Long-term inhalation of harmful gases such as sulfur dioxide and industrial dust such as chromium and arsenic can easily cause;

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

(6) Precancerous lesions: Laryngeal keratosis and benign laryngeal tumors such as laryngeal papilloma may become cancerous if they recur;

(7) Radiation: Using radiation to treat neck tumors can cause cancer;

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