What tests should be done to diagnose laryngeal cancer

The emergence of laryngeal cancer has caused a lot of harm to people's lives, and in severe cases it can even endanger their lives. In life, people should pay attention to timely treatment and examination. Everyone should go to the hospital for diagnosis. So, what are the common laryngeal examinations?

Laryngoscopy and fiberoptic examination

The swelling in the neck may be a benign tumor caused by inflammatory stimulation, or it may be a lump formed by unintentional collision. Under a high-power lens, the neck swelling in patients with laryngeal cancer may appear cauliflower-like, ulcer-like, nodular-like, or lump-like.

Laryngoscopy can be used to examine lesions on the vocal cords. If a person with hoarseness is undergoing a laryngoscopy and finds that one side of the vocal cord vibrates absently or vibrates abnormally, it may be a sign of early vocal cord cancer.

Laryngeal biopsy

Biopsy refers to the extraction of sample tissue from suspected laryngeal cancer tissue for experimental observation. It plays an important role in the diagnosis of laryngeal cancer. For patients with highly suspected laryngeal cancer, if a biopsy result is negative and the diagnosis cannot be confirmed, multiple biopsies can be performed.

CT scan

CT scan is the abbreviation of computerized x-ray tomography. Since different tissues of the human body have different absorption and transmittance rates to x-rays, the human body is measured using highly sensitive instruments, and the measured data is then input into a computer for analysis and processing. This allows the cross-sectional or 3D images of the examined parts of the human body to be taken, and subtle lesions in some parts of the human body to be discovered. This is extremely helpful in diagnosing laryngeal cancer.

Through the detailed introduction of the above experts, I believe everyone has a detailed understanding. Patients should pay attention to this disease, receive timely treatment, and return to health as soon as possible.
