Is the cure rate high for laryngeal cancer?

Among all the tumors in the body, the incidence of laryngeal cancer is about 5%. It is a malignant tumor with a low incidence rate. The main areas of occurrence are North China and East China. The main incidence group is male, and the age of onset is 50-70 years old. If laryngeal cancer is not treated properly, it will spread to other organs through three ways: direct spread, lymphatic metastasis, and vascular metastasis, causing complications such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, bad breath, and gambling. If laryngeal cancer is treated properly, the patient can recover. What are the treatment methods for laryngeal cancer? What is the cure rate of laryngeal cancer? Let's discuss it below.

Throat cancer treatment

At present, the main treatment methods for laryngeal cancer include surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, biological therapy, etc. Among them, surgery is the most important and effective treatment method.

1. Surgical treatment: Different laryngeal cancers require different surgical treatments. Laryngeal carcinoma in situ is suitable for laryngoscopic resection; glottic cancer is suitable for partial laryngectomy; supraglottic cancer is suitable for supraglottic laryngectomy; and total laryngectomy is suitable for total laryngectomy. At present, these surgeries are all minimally invasive, retain voice function, have little bleeding, and are not widely diffused.

2. Combined therapy of surgery and radiotherapy: refers to surgery plus preoperative or postoperative radiotherapy, which can increase the 5-year survival rate of surgical treatment by 10 to 20%.

3. Biological therapy: Although there are some reports, most biological therapies are still in the experimental stage and the efficacy is not confirmed. They include recombinant cytokines, adoptively transferred immune cells, monoclonal antibodies, tumor molecular vaccines, etc.

4. Chemotherapy: There are three types, the first is induction chemotherapy, the second is adjuvant chemotherapy, and the third is palliative chemotherapy. The first method refers to drug administration before surgery or radiotherapy, which has the advantage of promoting the full effect of the drug; the second method refers to chemotherapy after surgery or radiotherapy, which has the advantage of killing residual tumor cells; the third method refers to chemotherapy after recurrence or systemic metastasis of cancer, which has the advantage of inhibiting the continued spread of cancer.

Throat cancer cure rate

Even if many patients adopt the above treatment methods according to the doctor's instructions, they still want to know the cure rate of laryngeal cancer. Because only by knowing the cure rate of laryngeal cancer can they have the confidence to continue treatment and have hope of survival. So what is the cure rate of laryngeal cancer? The cure rate of laryngeal cancer is relatively high, but the condition of each patient is different, so a simple number cannot be used as the cure rate of laryngeal cancer. After the patient has surgery, the tumor is removed, and then radiotherapy and chemotherapy are performed, the cure rate is relatively high. Patients must firmly believe in doctors and use reasonable drugs for auxiliary treatment according to the doctor's method. Don't believe in special medicines or special prescriptions at will.
