Is hoarseness in breast cancer patients a sign of metastasis?

The throat refers to the pharynx. Breast cancer ranks first among female malignant tumors. It is a phenomenon in which breast epithelial cells proliferate uncontrollably under the action of multiple carcinogenic factors. The throat hoarseness of breast cancer patients may be caused by metastasis or not, such as pharyngitis. The specific analysis is as follows:

1. It may be that in the early stage of breast cancer, white blood cells are generally confined to the breast. As the disease progresses, late stage cancer cells may metastasize to distant sites. When they metastasize to the throat, they will affect normal pronunciation and cause hoarseness. At the same time, they will also experience throat pain, difficulty swallowing, etc.

2. Probably not: Hoarseness is a symptom. If a breast cancer patient speaks loudly on a daily basis, or if there is inflammation in the throat, the voice may also change. When the above factors occur, it does not mean that breast cancer has metastasized.

Breast cancer requires active treatment. Patients are advised to go to the hospital as soon as possible and receive individualized treatment from the doctor, such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery, targeted therapy, etc.
