Early symptoms of oral cancer and pharyngeal cancer

There are many types of cancer. Cancer is also a disease that is difficult to treat and endangers the patient's health. People are reluctant to be associated with cancer in their daily lives. Laryngeal cancer is also a common cancer disease. One of the main causes of laryngeal cancer is smoking and drinking, so we should try to quit smoking and avoid drinking in order to better prevent laryngeal cancer. Laryngeal cancer is like other cancer diseases. The earlier it is discovered and the earlier it is treated, the better the disease control effect will be. So what are the early symptoms of laryngeal cancer?

Laryngeal cancer is a type of cancer. Although it is not very common, there are a lot of cases of laryngeal cancer. It is also very harmful to human health. Therefore, it is best for patients to discover and treat it early. Patients with early laryngeal cancer will have symptoms such as pain, persistent hoarseness, swollen cervical lymph nodes, and a foreign body sensation in the throat.

Patients with laryngeal cancer will experience pain symptoms after the onset of the disease. After the cancer ruptures, patients may have a sore throat, which can sometimes radiate to the patient's ear on the same side, which is also a relatively late symptom. Refractory hoarseness may also occur. Patients with laryngeal cancer mainly have their condition involving the vocal cords. Even if the cancer is very small, there may be a hoarseness. Hoarseness is an early symptom of glottic and supraglottic laryngeal cancer. Patients with subglottic laryngeal cancer are less likely to experience hoarseness symptoms in the early stages, but may experience hoarseness symptoms in the late stages.

There may also be swollen lymph nodes in the neck. Laryngeal cancer often metastasizes to the lymph nodes in the neck on the same side, and in advanced stages it can also metastasize to the lymph nodes in the neck on the other side. Some patients discover laryngeal cancer because they notice swelling in their neck.

There will also be a foreign body sensation in the throat. This is one of the most common early symptoms of supraglottic laryngeal cancer. If middle-aged and elderly people have throat discomfort, it is best to do a comprehensive and detailed examination and not treat it as chronic pharyngitis. Laryngeal cancer is very harmful, so we usually have to pay attention to the prevention and treatment of laryngeal cancer, try to quit smoking, avoid drinking, and pay attention to throat discomfort. You must also pay attention to regular physical examinations to detect abnormal conditions in your body in time.
