What are the classifications of laryngeal cancer

It can be classified according to different anatomical sites, general morphology and cell morphology. 1. Laryngeal cancer can be divided into three types: glottic cancer, glottic cancer and glottic cancer, among which glottic cancer is the most common, accounting for about 60%. 2. According to different gross morphologies, laryngeal cancer can be divided into 4 types, including ulcerative infiltrative type, cauliflower type, nodular type or mass type and mixed type. 3. According to cell morphology, laryngeal cancer can be divided into squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, etc., among which squamous cell carcinoma is the most common, accounting for about 90%. The third type must be determined by pathological diagnosis.

Is laryngeal cancer metastasis not serious?

Laryngeal cancer metastasis includes lymph node metastasis and distant organ metastasis. If there is no metastasis to lymph nodes and distant organs, it indicates early laryngeal cancer. The treatment of early laryngeal cancer includes radiotherapy and surgery. Radiotherapy plays a positive role in protecting laryngeal function, so it is often the main choice. If lymph nodes are metastatic, surgery combined with radiotherapy can often achieve better clinical results. Before and after treatment, attention should be paid to general physical condition and efficacy evaluation to achieve better clinical results.

Causes of death from laryngeal cancer

Laryngeal cancer is a common malignant tumor of the head and neck. Generally speaking, the main symptom of laryngeal cancer is hoarseness, but many laryngeal cancers may be discovered late. For example, metastasis to the cervical lymph nodes or distant metastasis to other parts of the body may cause death at any time. In other words, treatment can only delay the development of the tumor and prolong survival treatment, but cannot avoid death. If it is an early-stage laryngeal cancer, it can be cured through treatment, that is, no recurrence for more than three to five years. If it is in the late stage, it can only be treated with palliative treatment to relieve pain.
