Signs of death in late stage laryngeal cancer

Symptoms before death in late stage of laryngeal cancer Many laryngeal cancer patients want to know what symptoms are before death in late stage of laryngeal cancer, so as to take preventive measures. So what are the symptoms before death in late stage of laryngeal cancer? Cancer experts from the Oncology Hospital give you detailed answers:

1. Coughing and blood in sputum: This occurs after the cancer ruptures. Since the tumor carries a large number of abnormal new blood vessels, patients often find blood in their mucus or sputum after coughing. This symptom is mainly seen in patients with supraglottic and subglottic tumors and patients with mid- to late-stage vocal cord tumors. Early vocal cord tumors generally do not cause bleeding.

2. Dyspnea: This is a late-stage symptom. When the tumor deteriorates severely and increases in size at the primary site, it will directly block the trachea and affect breathing or make it difficult for tracheal secretions to be discharged, leading to dyspnea.

3. Pain in the inner ear: When laryngeal cancer develops to a certain extent and produces ulcers and severe inflammation in the throat, it can cause reflex pain in the nerves. Early vocal cord tumors generally do not produce reflex pain. Reflex pain mainly occurs in patients with supraglottic tumors in the middle and late stages.

4. Cervical lymph node metastasis: It can metastasize to the deep middle cervical lymph nodes on the same side, and advanced laryngeal cancer may metastasize to the opposite side.

5. Other symptoms: Late-stage symptoms of laryngeal cancer also include laryngoscopy, early thickening of the vocal cords, congestion on one side, a rough and uneven surface, and gradual appearance of granular protrusions on the surface of the vocal cords, which later become papillary or cauliflower-like tumors. After a while, the movement of the vocal cords is restricted or fixed. In the late stage, it often becomes an ulcer and develops to the upper and lower parts of the larynx, invading the adjacent tissues of the larynx, and metastasis to the cervical lymph nodes.

The above is an introduction to the symptoms of laryngeal cancer in the late stage before death. I hope it will be helpful to everyone.
