Immunotherapy helps Mr. Wang say goodbye to laryngeal cancer

"Young man, please stop smoking. Smoking is harmful to your health!" This is what Uncle Wang often says.

Long-term smoking causes laryngeal cancer

Mr. Wang is 56 years old this year. He has been smoking and drinking all his life. No matter how his family members persuade him, he always says: "I have smoked all my life and I am fine!" However, two months ago, Mr. Wang often caught a cold. His throat hurt when he swallowed and his voice was a little hoarse. Mr. Wang didn't care. When it was serious, he only took some anti-inflammatory drugs. After a long time, a problem appeared: Mr. Wang couldn't eat.

Accompanied by his son, Mr. Wang went to the hospital for a checkup. The results shocked him: he had laryngeal cancer! Mr. Wang was confused: How could he have laryngeal cancer?

It's all because of smoking.

Doctors explained that tobacco and alcohol play an important role in the pathogenesis of laryngeal cancer. About 90% of patients have a long history of smoking or drinking. The smoke from burning tobacco will slow down or even stop the cilia movement of the epithelial cells of the laryngeal mucosa, causing mucosal congestion and edema, and epithelial hyperplasia, thickening, and squamous metaplasia, which become the pathogenic basis of laryngeal cancer. Smoking and drinking will accelerate the speed of laryngeal mucosal cancer.

Immunotherapy gets a new lease of life

Mr. Wang's condition was not very serious, so the doctor decided to use biological immunotherapy. Biological immunotherapy is a new cancer treatment method that can avoid the treatment defects of conventional treatments and improve the treatment effect of laryngeal cancer, with the ultimate goal of completely eliminating tumor cells and curing tumors. It can play a good role in restoring and rebuilding the damaged immune system.

After three rounds of immunotherapy, Mr. Wang's throat pain has eased and his voice is not so hoarse anymore. Mr. Wang has changed his ways and never smokes or drinks again. He can't help but persuade others to smoke when he sees them smoking.
