Analysis of four common treatment methods for laryngeal cancer

Laryngeal cancer is an oncological disease that can be effectively cured. The treatment of early laryngeal cancer is very effective. What are the common treatments for laryngeal cancer ? The following is a list of common treatments for laryngeal cancer.

In general, the common treatments for laryngeal cancer include:

1. Total laryngectomy: It is suitable for laryngeal cancer lesions of stage T3-T4. After surgery, the laryngeal cancer patient will lose the laryngeal function, but after esophageal pronunciation training, he will gain pharyngeal esophageal sound. Therefore, this is a common treatment method for laryngeal cancer.

2. Horizontal partial laryngectomy: This treatment method is suitable for supraglottic laryngeal cancer, which means that the lesions of laryngeal cancer involve the epiglottis, ventricular band, aryepiglottic folds, etc., but the vocal cords are not invaded. Laryngeal cancer patients can basically retain laryngeal function after surgery.

3. Chemotherapy: For patients with advanced laryngeal cancer who cannot undergo surgery, chemotherapy or a combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy can be used. This is also an effective treatment for laryngeal cancer.

4. Radiotherapy: It is suitable for patients with stage I laryngeal cancer, patients with poor general condition and unsuitable for surgery, and patients who receive preoperative radiotherapy. The treatment of laryngeal cancer depends on the preservation of laryngeal functions such as pronunciation after radiotherapy. Usually 60 Gy of radiation is used, while the treatment of simple radiotherapy is 60-70 Gy.

The above is an introduction to the common treatment methods for laryngeal cancer. I believe everyone has some understanding of this. Patients should choose the treatment method for laryngeal cancer that suits them according to their actual condition and should not choose blindly.
