What causes laryngeal cancer?

Nowadays, many men like to smoke. If they are not satisfied with their work, they will drink alcohol. However, male compatriots should pay attention to this, because it is often the cause of laryngeal cancer. Laryngeal cancer (carcinoma of the laryngx) is a malignant tumor originating from the epithelial tissue of the laryngeal mucosa. The most common laryngeal cancer is laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. It is more common in middle-aged and elderly men. So it is necessary for us to understand the causes of laryngeal cancer.

(1) Smoking: Tobacco burning produces tobacco tar, of which benzopyrene is carcinogenic. Tobacco smoke can stop or slow the movement of cilia, causing mucosal edema and bleeding, and causing epithelial hyperplasia, thickening, and squamous metaplasia, which is the basis for carcinogenesis.

(2) Excessive drinking: Long-term stimulation of the mucous membrane can cause it to degenerate and lead to cancer

(3) Chronic inflammatory irritation such as chronic laryngitis or respiratory tract inflammation

(4) Air pollution: Long-term inhalation of harmful gases such as sulfur dioxide and industrial dust such as chromium and arsenic can easily lead to laryngeal cancer.

(5) Viral infection is closely related to the occurrence of cancer. It is generally believed that viruses can change the nature of cells and cause abnormal division; viruses can attach to genes and be passed on to the next generation of cells, causing cancer.

(6) Precancerous lesions: Laryngeal keratosis and benign laryngeal tumors such as laryngeal papilloma may become cancerous if they recur.

(7) Radiation: Using radiation to treat neck tumors can cause cancer

(8) Sex hormones: Experiments have shown that the percentage of estrogen receptor-positive cells in laryngeal cancer patients is significantly increased.

The above are the main causes of laryngeal cancer. Experts suggest: If you have any adverse symptoms, do not delay diagnosis and do not let your life be ruined by hesitation.
