What are the preventive measures for laryngeal cancer

Young people nowadays often eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks with a group of friends, but they don’t know that such a lifestyle is likely to induce laryngeal cancer. What are the preventive measures for laryngeal cancer? Many people are paying attention to this issue, because the incidence of laryngeal cancer has gradually increased in recent years. This disease endangers many patients and takes the lives of some patients. Only by understanding the preventive measures can we better prevent laryngeal cancer and stay away from such diseases.

1. Smoking ban Smoking directly damages organs and causes laryngeal cancer. The longer you smoke, the higher the incidence rate. Nicotine, coal tar and benzopyrene produced in tobacco are all carcinogens. Tobacco burning can produce tobacco tar, among which benzopyrene can cause cancer. Tobacco smoke can stop or slow the movement of cilia, and also cause mucosal edema and bleeding, epithelial hyperplasia, thickening, and squamous metaplasia, which become the basis for carcinogenesis.

2. Do not drink excessively. Long-term and heavy drinking will cause congestion and edema in the throat, and lead to malnutrition and low immune function, laying the foundation for the formation of cancer.

3. Stay away from chemical carcinogens. Chemical carcinogens related to laryngeal cancer include sulfur dioxide, chromium, arsenic, etc. The living and production environment is polluted by air. Inhaling the above harmful gases and dust will damage the throat, so you must take good protection. Long-term inhalation of harmful gases such as sulfur dioxide and industrial dust such as chromium and arsenic can easily cause laryngeal cancer.

4. Pay attention to precancerous lesions. Leukoplakia of the larynx is a precancerous lesion of laryngeal cancer. It is a white patch on the mucosa due to poor keratinization of the vocal cord mucosal epithelium. It is a pathological change caused by upper respiratory tract infection, smoking, harmful gas stimulation, excessive use of voice, etc. It is closely related to the formation of laryngeal cancer and must be actively prevented and treated. There are also laryngeal keratosis, chronic hypertrophic laryngitis, papilloma, etc., which must be closely observed and actively prevented and treated. Viral infection is closely related to the occurrence of cancer. It is generally believed that viruses can change the nature of cells and cause abnormal division; viruses can attach to genes and pass them to the next generation of cells, causing cancer.

5. Beware of the harm caused by bad eating habits. Some people often eat hot pot with friends regardless of winter or summer. The spicy hot pot is stimulating, and they also smoke and drink constantly. This is harmful not only to the throat, but also to the eyes, trachea, lungs, esophagus, stomach, etc. It can cause diseases and also worsen into cancer.

6. Be cautious when exposed to radiation. Radiation is a carcinogen. When the neck is examined or treated multiple times or in large doses, it is necessary to protect it from damage, otherwise it will create conditions for the formation of laryngeal cancer. In normal times, try to reduce radiation examinations.

By reading the above article, we can understand that diseases such as laryngeal cancer can be effectively prevented in life. The key is that people can understand the specific preventive measures and attach importance to active prevention. Everyone has the possibility of suffering from laryngeal cancer, so we should not be lucky and must actively prevent it.
