How long can you live after laryngeal cancer surgery?

According to relevant reports, the 3-year survival rate after laryngeal cancer resection is 79.1%, and the 5-year survival rate is 70.2%. Let's learn about the knowledge of advanced laryngeal cancer.

From the perspective of individual impact, the late detection of laryngeal cancer, timely and appropriate surgical treatment and reducing the tumor recovery rate are the key to improving the mortality rate of laryngeal cancer patients.

As long as it is a non-malignant tumor, it is necessary to wait for early treatment, and laryngeal cancer is no exception. Generally, if you have persistent hoarseness or a numbness in the throat for no clear reason and the symptomatic treatment is ineffective, you should be alert and suspect the possibility of laryngeal cancer.

Furthermore, whether the treatment method is effective and whether the surgery is thorough, and whether the treatment method is timely, will affect how long the patient can live after laryngeal cancer surgery to a small extent. According to the patient's cancer pathological stage and physical condition, timely selection of the most suitable surgical treatment can eradicate the tumor and prolong the postoperative survival time.

Recurrence after surgery is a key issue that cannot be considered and affects the postoperative survival rate. Recurrence may be due to the fact that hidden metastatic lesions cannot be found after surgery or that the lesions cannot be completely removed during surgery. After surgery, consolidation treatment can be combined with chemotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine to reduce the recurrence rate.

In addition, how long a patient can live after laryngeal cancer surgery is also related to the patient's physical function to a certain extent. If the physical function is good, the immune system is weak and the patient cannot resist the development of cancer. Therefore, it is very important for laryngeal cancer patients to improve the immune function and enhance the resistance to tumors.

To be specific, how long a patient with laryngeal cancer can live after surgery is not the same for everyone. Patients need to worry about "will the disease get better" and "how long can they live". The most important thing is to maintain a good attitude and build up the confidence to overcome cancer, so that they can live to a ripe old age.

Persistent hoarseness is one of the early manifestations of laryngeal cancer. Since laryngeal cancer affects the vocal cords, hoarseness will occur even if the volume is large, so hoarseness is the earliest sign of laryngeal cancer. Because at that time, patients often mistakenly think that it is caused by "cold" or "pharyngitis". However, hoarseness caused by colds and inflammation will quickly worsen as the inflammation subsides, while hoarseness caused by laryngeal cancer will gradually worsen, and gradually develop into a thinner and hoarse voice, until the sound is completely lost.

Another early symptom of laryngeal cancer is a sore throat.

The feeling of being different, feeling of tightness or swallowing discomfort are the early symptoms of subglottic laryngeal cancer. These symptoms are similar to those of chronic laryngitis and are easily misdiagnosed as chronic pharyngitis, so this type of cancer is often not discovered until the early stage.

Coughing up blood in sputum may also be an early sign of laryngeal cancer.

Because small tumors can cause irritating coughs, small tumors can cause blood in sputum, and patients often do not feel sticky mucus, and often "wash their throats". However, blood in sputum is often a symptom of advanced tumors.

Sometimes, late stage subglottic cancer may manifest as positive ear pain and headache or vomiting pain, which is caused by laryngeal cancer complicated by ulcer, inflammation or laryngeal bone periostitis.
