What causes laryngeal cancer?

The incidence of laryngeal cancer is very high in China, and there are many causes of laryngeal cancer , which have not yet been clearly identified. Below, experts will give us a detailed introduction to the causes of laryngeal cancer.

The main causes of laryngeal cancer are as follows:

1. Occupational factors: Long-term exposure to minerals such as asbestos can easily lead to laryngeal cancer.

2. Air pollution: Long-term inhalation of harmful gases such as sulfur dioxide and industrial dust such as chromium and arsenic can easily cause laryngeal cancer.

3. Radiation: Using radiation to treat neck tumors can cause cancer.

4. Smoking: Tobacco burning can produce tobacco tar, of which benzopyrene can cause cancer. Tobacco smoke can stop or slow the movement of cilia, cause mucosal edema and bleeding, and cause epithelial hyperplasia, thickening, and squamous metaplasia, which become the basis for cancer.

5. Excessive drinking: Long-term irritation of the mucous membrane by alcohol can cause it to degenerate and cause cancer.

6. Sex hormones: Relevant experiments show that the percentage of estrogen receptor positive cells in laryngeal cancer patients is significantly increased.

7. Chronic inflammatory irritation such as chronic laryngitis or respiratory tract inflammation.

8. Precancerous lesions: Repeated recurrence of precancerous lesions such as laryngeal papilloma, laryngeal keratosis, and laryngeal leukoplakia may lead to cancer.
