What are the symptoms and dangers of laryngeal cancer

What are the symptoms and risks of throat cancer?

Laryngeal cancer can cause hoarseness, difficulty swallowing, painful breathing, and throat discomfort. If left untreated, the tumor cells can metastasize and shorten the patient's lifespan.

Laryngeal cancer refers to a malignant tumor that occurs in the throat. There is no definite cause for this disease, but it is mainly considered to be related to the malignant changes of human papilloma, genetic and environmental factors. Through early detection and timely treatment, the survival rate of most patients can reach 70%. The prognosis of patients in the late stage is generally poor, but after effective treatment, the patient's life can be appropriately extended. At present, the disease is mainly treated with surgery combined with radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other means. Depending on the location of the disease and the extent of the lesion, patients can undergo endoscopic minimally invasive surgery, laryngectomy and laryngectomy. Postoperative care is required to avoid recurrence of the disease.

In addition to surgical treatment, patients can also delay the progression of the disease by doing a good job of home care in their daily lives. Patients should learn to adjust their breathing and pay more attention to their breathing status. Pay attention to the comfort of breathing. When you feel phlegm in your throat and have difficulty breathing, you can use tools to suck out the phlegm to improve your breathing efficiency.
