What are the clinical diagnoses for laryngeal cancer?

In recent years, we have not paid much attention to laryngeal cancer. However, with the frequent occurrence of laryngeal cancer, people are becoming more and more afraid of it. According to a large amount of survey data, the incidence of laryngeal cancer has increased significantly in some populations. The following is an introduction to the clinical diagnosis of laryngeal cancer.

1. Neck examination: including inspection and palpation of the laryngeal shape and cervical lymph nodes. Palpation of cervical lymph nodes should be carried out step by step from top to bottom and from front to back according to the distribution pattern of cervical lymph nodes to clarify the location and size of swollen lymph nodes.

2. Laryngoscopy: Indirect laryngoscopy is a commonly used method in clinical practice. Only when the indirect laryngoscopy is unsatisfactory or it is difficult to obtain pathological examination, direct laryngoscope and fiberoptic light guide can be used to further understand the situation of tumor invasion in the larynx and to obtain tissue for pathological examination in a timely manner for suspected diseases.

3. Imaging examination:

(1) X-ray examination: X-ray lateral laryngeal films and anteroposterior laryngeal tomographic films can clarify the general location, size, shape, and changes in the cartilage, trachea, or anterior cervical soft tissue. Laryngography can be performed if necessary.

(2) CTMR examination: It helps to determine the extent of tumor growth in the larynx, the extent of external invasion, and the status of cervical lymph node metastasis, which is especially helpful for patients in the advanced stage.

(3) Ultrasonic tomography: It is a method used to identify the location of enlarged lymph nodes in the neck and their relationship with surrounding tissues, as well as for follow-up examinations after postoperative radiotherapy. It has the advantages of being non-destructive, convenient, accurate, low-cost, and can be performed repeatedly.

The above is the clinical diagnosis of laryngeal cancer.
