Laryngeal cancer patients should be aware of their specific examination items in a timely manner

The appearance of laryngeal cancer will bring certain harm to the patient's life and health, which will make the family very worried. If the patient does not combine laryngeal cancer examination in time, it may cause the condition to worsen, which will be very troublesome. Therefore, everyone should understand the examination methods of laryngeal cancer so that they can cooperate with treatment as soon as possible. The following is an introduction to the examination items of laryngeal cancer.

Tests for laryngeal cancer include:

1. Imaging examination: (1) X-ray examination: X-ray lateral laryngeal films and anteroposterior laryngeal tomographic films can clarify the general location, size, shape and changes in cartilage, trachea or anterior cervical soft tissue of the lesion. If necessary, laryngeal angiography can be performed. (2) CT and MR examinations: They are helpful in clarifying the growth range of the tumor in the larynx and the extent of external invasion, as well as the metastasis of cervical lymph nodes, which is especially helpful for patients in the advanced stage. This is the examination method for laryngeal cancer.

2. Neck examination: This includes inspection and palpation of the laryngeal shape and cervical lymph nodes. For palpation of cervical lymph nodes, the cervical lymph nodes should be examined step by step from top to bottom and from front to back according to the distribution pattern of cervical lymph nodes to find out the location and size of the swollen lymph nodes. This type of examination for laryngeal cancer is relatively common.

3. Laryngoscopy: Indirect laryngoscopy is a commonly used method in the examination of laryngeal cancer. Only when the indirect laryngoscopy is not satisfactory or it is difficult to obtain pathology, direct laryngoscope and fiberoptic light guide can be used to further understand the situation of tumor invasion in the larynx, and timely obtain tissues of suspected diseases for pathological examination. This is also an examination item for laryngeal cancer.

The above is the examination of laryngeal cancer. I hope everyone can understand it. As long as the examination of laryngeal cancer is combined as soon as possible, the patient can find out the disease in time, and then receive effective treatment, which can help the patient regain confidence. Therefore, if you want the patient to control the disease as soon as possible, please refer to the examination items of laryngeal cancer. I wish all patients can fight the disease to the end.
