Causes of Throat Cancer

The incidence of laryngeal cancer is mainly related to factors such as smoking, drinking, poor eating habits, viral infection, and environmental pollution. It can be divided into primary and secondary types. As the disease progresses, symptoms such as foreign body sensation in the throat, hoarseness, blood in sputum, difficulty breathing and swallowing, and neck swelling may occur. Laryngoscopy and pathological tissue biopsy are the main methods for diagnosing laryngeal cancer. At present, the treatment methods for laryngeal cancer include surgery, biological immunotherapy, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy.

What are the early symptoms of laryngeal cancer?

Laryngeal cancer is a relatively common malignant tumor of the head and neck. The early symptoms may not be very typical. Some people will show hoarseness, neck lumps and sore throat as the disease progresses. As the disease progresses seriously, it will cause difficulty breathing and eating. Because the throat is located on the main road of the throat where the trachea and digestive organs intersect, lesions in this place and tumors can affect breathing and eating. Laryngeal cancer is cured by surgery in the early stage, retaining the vocal function of the throat, and combined with radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other comprehensive treatments after surgery.

Can Traditional Chinese Medicine Treat Laryngeal Cancer?

Laryngeal cancer is a common malignant tumor of the head and neck. The main clinical symptoms are hoarseness, and some may have laryngeal obstruction, including respiratory obstruction and feeding obstruction. Traditional Chinese medicine can assist in treatment and alleviate symptoms, but it cannot be used alone. Generally, laryngeal cancer can be pathologically examined through laryngoscopy, and those who can undergo surgery after diagnosis are mainly cured by surgery. It can also be combined with radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other comprehensive treatments. Traditional Chinese medicine can assist in radiotherapy and chemotherapy to reduce the side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, but it is generally not recommended to use it alone.
