Six signs of laryngeal cancer recurrence

Symptoms of laryngeal cancer recurrence generally include pain, difficulty swallowing, coughing, difficulty breathing, hoarseness, neck lumps, etc. The specific introduction is as follows:

1. Pain: When laryngeal cancer recurs, the cancerous lesions will invade the surrounding tissues of the larynx, causing congestion and erosion of the throat mucosa, which often causes obvious pain. The larger the lesion, the more obvious the pain.

2. Dysphagia: In the early stage of laryngeal cancer recurrence, dysphagia is generally not obvious. However, as the tumor gradually grows, the throat space becomes smaller, making swallowing difficult and even sputum difficult to cough up.

3. Cough: Recurrence of laryngeal cancer can cause ulceration of the laryngeal mucosa and local irritation, thereby causing coughing, which is usually accompanied by coughing up blood.

4. Difficulty breathing: After laryngeal cancer recurs, as the cancer lesions gradually grow larger, they will cause a certain degree of obstruction in the throat, affecting the airflow and leading to difficulty breathing.

5. Hoarseness: After laryngeal cancer recurs, the disease progresses rapidly and can easily invade the vocal cords, causing congestion and swelling of the vocal cords and hoarseness.

6. Neck lump: In the early stage of laryngeal cancer recurrence, the neck lump is not obvious, but as the disease worsens, there will be an obvious neck lump.

Laryngeal cancer recurrence may be accompanied by metastasis, and different symptoms may occur depending on the location of the metastasis. If a patient with laryngeal cancer has the above symptoms, it may be a recurrence of laryngeal cancer. It is recommended to go to the hospital in time for treatment as soon as possible.
