Is the cure rate of early laryngeal cancer high?

If regular comprehensive treatment is carried out in the early stage, it can not only save life, but also preserve breathing and swallowing functions. The cure rate of early laryngeal cancer can reach as high as 90%, but due to the high misdiagnosis rate of laryngeal cancer, the disease is often delayed, and the treatment is difficult in the late stage, and the prognosis is also poor. Therefore, the key to the cure rate of early laryngeal cancer lies in early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment.

The key point of the cure rate of early laryngeal cancer is "early stage", so how can laryngeal cancer be detected early? One of the major symptoms of early laryngeal cancer is hoarseness, but this is also a characteristic of diseases such as chronic laryngitis and vocal cord paralysis, so it is easy to cause misdiagnosis. Generally speaking, when hoarseness lasts for more than two weeks and symptomatic treatment is ineffective, a laryngoscopy should be performed to rule out the possibility of laryngeal cancer. Once laryngeal cancer is diagnosed, proper treatment should be carried out as soon as possible. For early laryngeal cancer, radiotherapy and surgical treatment have similar effects. Surgery includes total laryngectomy, hemi-laryngectomy or partial laryngectomy, which is selected according to the primary site, characteristics, clinical stage and pathological type of the tumor. In fact, losing the throat will greatly affect the quality of life, so some patients with early laryngeal cancer do not necessarily have to undergo surgery. Simple radiotherapy can also improve the cure rate of early laryngeal cancer.

After laryngeal cancer surgery, you should strengthen your diet and adhere to the principle of fresh, easy to digest, and nutritious. Eat high-protein foods such as soft-shelled turtles appropriately. Fresh fruits such as grapes, strawberries, bananas, figs, and kiwis can be considered. Spicy and irritating foods such as mutton, dog meat, and beef should not be eaten. Smoking and drinking are absolutely prohibited. After radiotherapy, it is advisable to eat nourishing foods such as mushrooms, white fungus, mung beans, winter melons, yam, and other sweet, cold and light foods.

As the technology for treating laryngeal cancer in my country is improving, more and more clinical experience has been accumulated. After early treatment, the 5-year survival rate is more than 90%, which can bring the cure rate of early laryngeal cancer to a new height.
