Symptoms before death in late stage laryngeal cancer

In my country, laryngeal cancer is a common malignant tumor disease, especially in head and neck malignant tumors. Laryngeal cancer accounts for 1%-5% of all malignant tumors in the body, and the high-incidence area in my country is the Northeast, where the incidence rate accounts for 5.7%-7.6% of all malignant tumors in the body. The following is an introduction to laryngeal cancer and the symptoms of laryngeal cancer in the late stage before death:

Symptoms before death in late stage of laryngeal cancer

1. Coughing and blood in sputum: This occurs after the cancer ruptures. Since the tumor carries a large number of abnormal new blood vessels, patients often find blood in their mucus or sputum after coughing. This symptom is mainly seen in patients with supraglottic and subglottic tumors and patients with mid- to late-stage vocal cord tumors. Early vocal cord tumors generally do not cause bleeding.

2. Dyspnea: This is a late-stage symptom. When the tumor deteriorates severely and increases in size at the primary site, it will directly block the trachea and affect breathing or make it difficult for tracheal secretions to be discharged, leading to dyspnea.

3. 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.

4. Pain in the inner ear: When laryngeal cancer develops to a certain extent and produces ulcers and severe inflammation in the throat, it can cause reflex pain in the nerves. Early vocal cord tumors generally do not produce reflex pain. Reflex pain mainly occurs in patients with supraglottic tumors in the middle and late stages.

5. Late-stage symptoms of laryngeal cancer also include 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 later become papillary or cauliflower-like tumors. 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.

The above is a brief introduction to the "Pre-mortem Symptoms of Laryngeal Cancer in the Late Stage". For people who are related to the pathogenic factors of laryngeal cancer, it is recommended to take preventive measures for laryngeal cancer and carry out specific treatment according to the doctor's instructions. I hope that patients can recover soon! If you have other questions about laryngeal cancer, please consult our experts online or call for consultation.
