What to do if back pain occurs after laryngeal cancer surgery

Patients with laryngeal cancer who experience back pain after surgery need to be treated according to different situations: For patients whose laryngeal cancer cells have metastasized to the back and caused pain, they need to continue radiotherapy and chemotherapy after surgery to remove the cancer cells in the body and relieve the symptoms. After diagnosis, the metastatic lesions can be treated while treating the laryngeal cancer, and the patient's symptoms can be alleviated through chemotherapy or radiotherapy. The solution to back pain in laryngeal cancer patients needs to be analyzed specifically based on the cause.

How long does it take for laryngeal cancer to go from early stage to late stage?

The first reaction after hearing about cancer is how long you can live. So what about laryngeal cancer? The symptoms of laryngeal cancer are mainly hoarseness, dyspnea, cough, dysphagia, cervical lymph node metastasis, etc. How long a laryngeal cancer patient can live is uncertain. There are some uncertain factors. It needs to be based on the patient's personal situation. How long a laryngeal cancer patient can live is of course related to many factors, such as age, preoperative and postoperative classification, vocal cord mobility, etc., but laryngeal cancer patients must improve their own immunity. Strengthening resistance is very important for laryngeal cancer patients after surgery. Reflex pain often occurs in the middle and late stages of the disease, and is more common in patients with supraglottic cancer. When the cancer cells develop to a certain extent, inflammation or ulcers will appear in the patient's throat. Usually, the process from normal cells to cancer is very long, but it is not a few weeks to a few months for cancer. Generally, it takes at least a few years to more than ten years or even decades. This is why most cancers are mainly middle-aged and elderly people. For example, smoking can cause lung cancer, and not smoking once lung cancer, or a few days or months of lung cancer, this is a process. If you smoke a pack (20 cigarettes) a day, after twenty years, the risk of lung cancer increases.

How to distinguish between pharyngitis and throat cancer

The basis for judging whether one has laryngeal cancer is the clinical symptoms, the results of relevant examinations, and the results of local biopsy, etc., to comprehensively analyze the patient's condition. In clinical practice, the throat is examined with an electronic laryngoscope to determine the location and size of the lesion, and then local biopsy is taken under endoscopy and sent to pathology to confirm whether there is laryngeal cancer. Laryngeal cancer is relatively serious. In addition to hoarseness, there may also be coughing, and there may be blood in the cough, which is also painful. This is significantly different from pharyngitis.
