Can laryngeal cancer be cured by surgery?

Some laryngeal cancers can be cured through surgical treatment. Most of these laryngeal cancer patients have T2 or T3 laryngeal cancer, which can be cured by radical surgical resection. For example, if the previous surgery was a partial removal of the larynx, that is, a surgery that preserved the laryngeal function, you can also consider another surgical treatment to perform an extended tumor removal or a complete laryngectomy. In recent years, with the advancement of radiotherapy technology, and the fact that most laryngeal cancers are sensitive to radiotherapy, radiotherapy is mainly used for T1 laryngeal cancer, which can achieve good treatment results and preserve the patient's laryngeal pronunciation function.

Difference Between Esophageal Cancer and Laryngeal Cancer

Many people cannot correctly distinguish between esophageal cancer and pharyngitis, because the symptoms of the two are very similar in the early stage of the disease, and it is indeed difficult to accurately distinguish them. However, mistaking esophageal cancer for pharyngitis has very serious consequences, which will delay the patient's treatment of esophageal cancer and lead to more serious consequences. Both early esophageal cancer and laryngeal cancer may cause symptoms of pharyngeal discomfort. Laryngeal cancer is a chronic inflammation of the pharyngeal mucosa. Common symptoms include dryness and swelling, and frequent compression of the sternum, which can cause patients to cough frequently. Some symptoms of pharyngitis are very similar to the early symptoms of esophageal cancer, such as a foreign body sensation when swallowing.

What are the symptoms of advanced throat cancer?

Laryngeal cancer is a malignant tumor originating from the epithelial tissue of the laryngeal mucosa, with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma being the most common. The third characteristic of laryngeal cancer is the appearance of reflex pain. Some patients will experience headaches and ear pain, and may also cause inflammation and infection in the perichondrium. It can be seen that when laryngeal cancer develops to the late stage, it is very serious and causes great harm to the patient. If the patient finds that he has laryngeal cancer, he should start active treatment as soon as possible and strive for early recovery. If he does not pay enough attention and allows it to develop, it will cause great pain to the patient and bring great difficulties to the treatment of laryngeal cancer. The patient's recovery will also face several major challenges.
