Can laryngoscope detect laryngeal cancer?

Laryngoscopy for laryngeal cancer. Laryngoscopy is a common routine examination measure in clinical practice. Through this method, we can check the shape of all tissues in the throat and determine whether there is a tumor. If there is a tumor, it may be laryngeal cancer. In order to more accurately judge the disease, it is recommended to appropriately combine some other diagnostic methods, such as physical examination, pathological examination, imaging examination, etc.

1. Physical examination

Patients with laryngeal cancer can undergo a physical examination at the same time as a laryngoscopy. If an enlarged throat, enlarged thyroid gland, or new ulcer organisms on the back wall of the throat are found during the examination, laryngeal cancer can be preliminarily diagnosed.

2. Pathological examination

Pathological examination can also help to diagnose throat cancer. This method mainly involves biopsy, extracting tissue from the lesion area, and conducting detailed observation to confirm the disease, with a relatively high accuracy rate.

3. Imaging examination

Common imaging examinations used in diagnosing laryngeal cancer include X-ray examinations and CT examinations. These two methods can not only determine the location and invasion range of laryngeal cancer, but also diagnose whether the disease has metastasized.
