How much do you know about the early symptoms of laryngeal cancer?

Laryngeal cancer is a malignant tumor of the laryngeal mucosal epithelial tissue. It is a common disease. The occurrence of laryngeal cancer is often related to personal lifestyle habits. Knowing the symptoms of laryngeal cancer can help you get early treatment. So what are the symptoms of laryngeal cancer? Let's take a look.

Different types of laryngeal cancer have different symptoms, mainly:

1. Hoarseness: This is the earliest symptom of laryngeal cancer and the earliest symptom of vocal cord cancer. It is usually persistent and gradually worsens. The early symptoms of subglottic laryngeal cancer are not obvious, while hoarseness is a symptom of the later stage.

2. Foreign body sensation and pain in the throat: often early symptoms of supraglottic cancer

3. Throat pain: Sometimes radiates to the ear on the same side and is a symptom that appears in the late stage.

4. Difficulty breathing: This is a symptom of the later stage, indicating that the cancer has developed to the point of blocking the throat.

5. Cough and blood in sputum: These symptoms occur after the cancer ruptures and are common symptoms.

6. Cervical lymph node metastasis: It can metastasize to the middle deep cervical lymph nodes on the same side, and may metastasize to the opposite side in the late stage.

7. Laryngoscopy: In the early stage, the vocal cords are thickened, one side is congested, the surface is rough and uneven, and granular protrusions gradually appear on the surface of the vocal cords, and then papillary or cauliflower-like tumors appear. After a while, the movement of the vocal cords is restricted or fixed. In the late stage, it often becomes ulcers and develops to the upper and lower parts of the larynx to invade the adjacent tissues of the larynx, and there is metastasis to the cervical lymph nodes.
