Can glottic laryngeal cancer be cured?

1. Whether glottic laryngeal cancer can be cured depends on the severity of the disease. If it is treated early in the early stage, it can usually be cured. If it has developed to the late stage, it is easy to spread to distant places, and it is difficult to cure it completely.

2. Glottic laryngeal cancer is a malignant tumor that occurs in the vocal cords. It is prone to occur at the junction of the front 1/3 of the vocal cords and is prone to invading surrounding tissues. In the early stages, the symptoms are mild. The patient will feel a foreign body in the throat and may feel tired after talking for a long time. Some patients may have an irritating cough, blood in the sputum, and symptoms such as fatigue. However, early cancer is not easy to metastasize. At this time, oral laser microsurgery can be considered to remove the cancer. Postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy can be performed based on the pathological results. Many patients can achieve clinical cure, and the 5-year survival rate will be relatively high.

3. When the disease develops to the late stage, the patient may experience symptoms such as hoarseness, fatigue in speaking, and difficulty breathing. In severe cases, the disease may metastasize to other parts of the body, such as the cervical lymph nodes, or even to distant organs. At this time, the time for surgery has been missed and it is difficult to cure the disease. It is easy to relapse or metastasize. Radiotherapy can be selected based on the condition of the disease, which can temporarily stabilize the condition and improve the quality of life to a certain extent.

4. Patients need to follow the doctor's advice and have regular follow-up visits during the recovery period to observe the specific situation of vocal cord recovery. Daily diet should be reasonably matched, adhere to the principle of eating small and frequent meals, and avoid eating greasy, cold and spicy foods to avoid adverse stimulation.
