What are the symptoms of throat cancer?

Laryngeal cancer is an insidious cancer, and its early symptoms are very similar to various throat diseases. In many cases, patients do not know that they have laryngeal cancer, but also as a common inflammatory treatment, often delaying the best treatment time because the early symptoms of laryngeal cancer are not obvious enough.

1. Throat discomfort

Patients with early laryngeal cancer may suddenly experience symptoms such as throat discomfort and foreign body sensation, but these common symptoms can easily be simply regarded as chronic pharyngitis; treatment is often delayed. If the throat discomfort persists for a long time, patients should pay more attention.

2. Persistent cough

Excluding throat discomfort in early stage patients, a small number of patients may also have a stubborn cough in the early stage of the disease, which is also severe and continuous. This is caused by the spread and secretion of tumor cells to irritate the throat. In severe cases, there may even be blood in the sputum and a strange smell in the sputum.

3. Sore throat

Many patients who have just developed laryngeal cancer will feel local pain in the throat. This is because the tumor becomes larger or infected, causing local pain, and sometimes ulcers and inflammation.

4. Difficulty breathing

As the tumor grows and the condition worsens, the trachea gradually becomes blocked, affecting the patient's normal breathing. Most patients experience difficulty breathing, and in severe cases, temporary shock occurs.
