Can laryngeal cancer recur after complete resection

Can laryngeal cancer recur after total resection? Generally speaking, if the patient pays attention to postoperative care, the possibility of recurrence is very small. Consolidation treatment should be done after laryngeal cancer surgery. In addition to radiotherapy, it is best to combine treatment with Chinese medicine to strengthen the body and eliminate evil, improve the internal environment, enhance body function, and prevent the recurrence and metastasis of tumor cells.

Whether the postoperative nursing measures for laryngeal cancer patients are properly applied can directly affect the prognosis of the disease. Generally speaking, there are two main aspects of postoperative nursing. The first is psychological care and paying attention to the changes in the patient's condition after surgery. The second is the application of some health care measures. The following is an introduction to postoperative nursing measures for laryngeal cancer:

(1) After the patient wakes up, he/she should be placed in a semi-recumbent position to facilitate breathing and drainage.

(2) Place ice cubes on the neck to prevent bleeding from the incision

(3) Care should be taken to maintain smooth drainage to prevent flap necrosis; regularly observe and record the properties and volume of the drainage fluid, and notify the doctor promptly if any abnormality is found.

(4) Patients who undergo radiotherapy or chemotherapy after surgery should receive routine care.

(5) Strengthen psychological care. Provide comfort and explanation to patients and their families, care for and show consideration for patients, meet their reasonable needs, and enable patients to face the surgery in a good psychological state.

(6) If symptoms such as sudden local swelling, extreme difficulty breathing, and a rapid pulse occur, it should be considered that the tumor is necrotic and bleeding and is compressing the trachea. Notify the doctor in time and prepare for treatment immediately.

(7) For patients who require radiotherapy or chemotherapy before surgery, routine radiotherapy and chemotherapy care should be followed.
