What are the treatments for laryngeal cancer

Laryngeal cancer is a common malignant tumor in the Department of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery in my country. Among all cancers, laryngeal cancer has a relatively high cure rate and can be called a "curable cancer". Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common type of laryngeal cancer, followed by basal cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, etc. Understanding and paying attention to the early symptoms of laryngeal cancer can help early detection, early diagnosis, early treatment, and the correct choice of treatment plan.

There are four main treatment options for laryngeal cancer:

1. Surgical treatment of laryngeal cancer

The principle of surgical treatment for laryngeal cancer is to completely eradicate the tumor and preserve the laryngeal function as much as possible. However, if the tumor is extensive and not completely removing the larynx is not enough to remove the tumor, complete laryngeal resection should be considered, and voice reconstruction should be performed at the same time or later. Laryngeal cancer surgery can usually be divided into three categories: microlaser laryngeal cancer surgery, partial laryngectomy, and total laryngectomy. Microlaser laryngeal cancer surgery is used for T1 vocal cord cancer lesions; partial laryngectomy is suitable for patients with glottic and supraglottic laryngeal cancer T1, T2 and some T3 lesions; total laryngectomy is suitable for patients with advanced laryngeal cancer.

2. Radiotherapy for laryngeal cancer

Radiotherapy for laryngeal cancer basically includes radical radiotherapy, preoperative radiotherapy, postoperative radiotherapy and palliative radiotherapy, etc. Generally, radiotherapy alone is mainly for patients who cannot undergo surgery or cannot tolerate surgery and patients with stage I lesions, while preoperative radiotherapy is mainly for some patients with advanced tumors.

3. Chemotherapy for laryngeal cancer

Since laryngeal cancer is mainly squamous cell carcinoma, it is not sensitive to chemotherapy, so chemotherapy can only be used as an auxiliary medical method.

4. Treatment methods combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine

It is currently the most popular and best treatment for laryngeal cancer and other cancers. It uses Western medicine to hinder the growth and spread of cancer cells, and is assisted by Chinese medicine conditioning to achieve the effect of treating both the symptoms and the root cause.

The above introduces the treatment methods of laryngeal cancer. I hope it will be helpful to everyone.
