Brief analysis: symptoms and treatment of laryngeal cancer patients

It is a relatively common malignant tumor. Its cause is not yet clear, but patients almost always have a long history of smoking. It is more common in men aged 50 to 60. The following is a detailed introduction to the common symptoms and treatment methods of laryngeal cancer patients:

Symptoms: Symptoms vary depending on the vocalization site of the cancer. Hoarseness may occur in the early stages of vocal cord cancer, while supraglottic cancer often presents with discomfort in the throat or freezing of foreign bodies, pain, and is often not obvious, which can easily delay diagnosis. In the late stages, obvious hoarseness, laryngeal gurgling, shortness of breath, dyspnea, pain, swallowing disorders, and neck masses and cervical lymphadenopathy may occur. Laryngoscopy is very important for early detection of cancer, and attention should be paid to checking for lumps in the neck. Larynx photos, tomography, CT scans, etc. are helpful in understanding the cancer. The final diagnosis must be confirmed through biopsy sections.

Treatment: Surgery or radiotherapy can achieve good results in the early stage of laryngeal cancer, and radiotherapy can preserve the pronunciation function. In the advanced stage of laryngeal cancer, total laryngectomy or combined with highly effective therapeutic surgery should generally be considered, and radiotherapy should be added as appropriate. After surgery, the pronunciation function is completely lost, but it can be reconstructed through a variety of methods (such as training esophageal pronunciation, installing electronic larynx, artificial larynx).

Among all cancers, laryngeal cancer has a very good prognosis and is considered a "curable cancer". The earlier it is discovered and treated, the better the prognosis. Overall, its 5-year survival rate is over 70%, and its 10-year survival rate is about 50%.
