After suffering from laryngeal cancer, you should be prepared for laryngeal cancer treatment

After suffering from laryngeal cancer, you should be prepared for its treatment. Laryngeal cancer is a very terrible disease. If you are not careful, it will be life-threatening. So what should you prepare before the treatment of laryngeal cancer ? Let the experts answer this question for us.

The treatment of laryngeal cancer requires attention to the following aspects:

For early stage squamous cell carcinoma limited to the vocal cords, both surgery and radiotherapy can achieve equally good treatment results. If the cancer exceeds the vocal cords or is supraglottic, surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy are mainly used. If there is lymph node metastasis in the neck, neck lymph node dissection should be performed. Chemotherapy can be used for advanced tumors, and traditional Chinese medicine can also be used to treat laryngeal cancer.

When formulating a treatment plan for laryngeal cancer, the patient's condition should be fully understood, including the radiation dose, operation time, language and swallowing function, etc., and a scientific and effective treatment plan should be formulated and implemented. Most laryngeal cancers can achieve ideal long-term efficacy. Relatively small tumors can be treated with radiation therapy or surgery; larger tumors, including tumors in multiple parts of the larynx, can be treated with radiation therapy and surgery; in addition to the larynx, the neck must also be treated because laryngeal cancer has the risk of invading the neck. The neck can also be treated with surgery or radiation. After surgery, patients should pay special attention to their body position when eating to prevent food from choking into the trachea.

Experts remind that preoperative and postoperative nursing care is also very important for laryngeal cancer treatment:

Treatment preparation for laryngeal cancer requires the following aspects: (1) Psychological care: provide comfort and explanation to the patient and his family, care for and be considerate of the patient, meet their reasonable needs, and enable the patient to face the surgery in a good psychological state. (2) When symptoms such as sudden local swelling, extreme difficulty breathing, and increased pulse rate occur, it should be considered that the tumor necrosis and bleeding are compressing the trachea. The doctor should be notified in time and preparations for treatment should be made immediately. (3) For patients who need radiotherapy or chemotherapy before surgery, follow the routine radiotherapy and chemotherapy care.

The above is the explanation given by experts on the treatment of laryngeal cancer. I hope it can help you answer your questions. Experts remind that if you cannot distinguish the type of disease, the best way is to go to the hospital for examination. Do not take medicine at random according to your own will, which will worsen the condition or cause other diseases.
