What to do if laryngeal cancer metastasis blocks the esophagus

Laryngeal cancer is usually treated with surgery, followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy. A small number of patients are often found to have metastases during follow-up examinations after surgery. How should this situation be handled? What should be done in daily life? Let's learn about it together.

1 First of all, the metastasis rate of laryngeal cancer is relatively high in clinical practice. The first thing to do after surgery is to use medicine scientifically. If metastasis occurs after laryngeal cancer surgery, it is not recommended to use Western medicine. Laryngeal cancer patients must be treated with Chinese medicine after surgery. Long-term treatment with Chinese medicine can inhibit further metastasis.

2 Secondly, laryngeal cancer patients also need to prevent complications. The wound dressing should be kept clean and dry after surgery, and the tracheal pad dressing should be replaced in time after contamination to prevent infection. Keep the oropharynx clean, clear the oral and pharyngeal secretions at any time, reduce frequent swallowing as much as possible to prevent pharyngeal fistula, and maintain adequate nutrition after surgery.

3. Finally, patients with laryngeal cancer metastasis can be prevented and inhibited through diet therapy. You can supplement with fish soup, pork rib soup, vegetable soup or freshly squeezed juice to supplement the deficiency of vitamins, inorganic salts and trace elements. Observe and adjust the eating position in time, and observe whether there is inflammation of the lower respiratory tract at any time to prevent occult aspiration.

Once laryngeal cancer metastasizes after surgery, you need to start medication treatment as soon as possible. It is recommended to choose Chinese medicine to regulate your body and prevent further metastasis. At the same time, you need to pay more attention to your diet and effectively solve the further occurrence of metastasis through diet therapy.
