What causes throat cancer

In recent years, the incidence of cancer has gradually increased, and these diseases are difficult to treat, so everyone should do a good job of prevention. There are many factors in life that can lead to the occurrence of cancer, and laryngeal cancer is also a common one. In the face of such a serious disease, we must pay attention to our living environment. So what are the main causes of laryngeal cancer?

There is no clear cause, but it may be related to the following factors:

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

(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 lead to laryngeal cancer.

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

(6) Precancerous lesions: Repeated attacks of laryngeal keratosis and benign laryngeal tumors such as laryngeal papilloma can lead to cancer. The occurrence of laryngeal cancer is also related to the deficiency of trace elements such as magnesium and zinc, vitamin A deficiency, immune dysfunction, sexual dysfunction, metabolic disorders, and genetic factors. Therefore, we should pay attention to a balanced diet and exercise regularly to enhance our resistance. Radiation: Radiation treatment of neck tumors can cause cancer. Sex hormones: Relevant experiments have shown that the percentage of estrogen receptor-positive cells in laryngeal cancer patients is significantly increased.

(7) Radiation: Radiation therapy for 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.

Warm reminder: Through the detailed analysis of the above content, have you clearly understood the main causes of laryngeal cancer? Once such a serious disease occurs, the patient must actively go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis, and try to avoid misunderstandings in treating the disease!
