How to Differentially Diagnose Laryngeal Cancer

In recent years, laryngeal cancer has become one of the major diseases that endangers society and human health, and it has brought great pain and distress to humans. In order to reduce the incidence of laryngeal cancer, we humans should master the methods of identifying laryngeal cancer:

1. Nodular laryngitis (also known as vocal nodules) is clinically manifested as intermittent hoarseness, which worsens at night and is lighter in the morning, with a dry feeling in the throat, slight pain, and increased laryngeal secretions. It is more likely to occur at the junction of the front and middle 1/3 of the vocal cords. The free edge is symmetrical mucosal nodules, edema-like, smooth in surface, as big as rice grains, with a wide base. Congestion, rest, reduced voice, nebulization inhalation, ultrashort wave physical therapy, and appropriate antibiotic treatment are effective. Larger ones must be removed under laryngoscope.

2. Laryngeal tuberculosis Patients with laryngeal tuberculosis have varying degrees of sore throat, and most of them have tuberculosis lesions in the lungs. The lesions are granular, pink or pale edematous, often accompanied by shallow ulcers, covered with purulent secretions. The posterior joint is a common site for laryngeal tuberculosis, while laryngeal cancer is rare. Anti-tuberculosis treatment is effective, and biopsy cytology and secretion smears to find acid-fast bacilli are helpful for diagnosis.

3. Laryngeal keratosis and laryngeal leukoplakia. The symptoms are hoarseness and discomfort in the throat. They are more common in middle-aged men. Laryngoscopy shows thickened vocal cords, which appear as pink or white patches. The surrounding tissues often have inflammatory reactions, which are mostly unilateral but can also affect both vocal cords. They are prone to recurrence and have a tendency to become malignant. Pathological biopsy can confirm the diagnosis.

4. Laryngeal papilloma This disease is common in young children and can be seen in adults. It is currently believed to be caused by viral infection and is often complicated by skin warts, regardless of gender. The main symptom is hoarseness.

The above is how to identify laryngeal cancer.
