Several serious late-stage symptoms of laryngeal cancer

Clinically, the late symptoms of laryngeal cancer are not only manifested in the throat, but also cause serious damage to other organs connected to the throat. Timely treatment of laryngeal cancer is required to prevent the disease from getting worse. What are the late symptoms of severe laryngeal cancer ? Let's talk about the late symptoms of severe laryngeal cancer.

Generally, the advanced symptoms of severe laryngeal cancer include:

1. Difficulty breathing: When the tumor deteriorates severely and increases in size at the primary site, it is a common late-stage symptom of laryngeal cancer. It will directly block the trachea and affect breathing or make it difficult for tracheal secretions to be discharged, leading to difficulty breathing.

2. Cervical lymph node metastasis: In late stage, the disease may metastasize to the contralateral side. Laryngeal cancer may metastasize to the deep middle cervical lymph nodes on the same side.

3. Coughing and blood in sputum: Since the tumor carries a large number of abnormal new blood vessels, it occurs after the cancer ruptures. Patients often find blood in their mucus or sputum after coughing. This late-stage symptom of laryngeal cancer is mainly seen in patients with supraglottic and subglottic tumors and patients with mid- to late-stage vocal cord tumors. Early vocal cord tumors generally do not bleed.

4. Pain in the inner ear: Laryngeal cancer in the late stage can cause reflex pain in the nerves. Early vocal cord tumors generally do not cause reflex pain. Reflex pain mainly occurs in patients with supraglottic tumors in the middle and late stages. When laryngeal cancer develops to a certain level and ulcers and severe inflammation occur in the throat.

The above is an introduction to the advanced symptoms of severe laryngeal cancer. I believe everyone should have some understanding of this. Once you suffer from advanced symptoms of laryngeal cancer, you must go to the hospital for treatment in time to avoid missing the best time for treatment and causing serious harm to the patient.
