Early symptoms and signs of laryngeal cancer

Early symptoms and signs of laryngeal cancer may include voice changes, cough or sore throat, throat discomfort, difficulty swallowing, lumps or swelling in the neck, etc., which require prompt medical treatment.

1. Voice changes: Laryngeal cancer may cause the voice to become hoarse or deep. This is because laryngeal cancer affects the normal function of the vocal cords.

2. Cough or sore throat: Early laryngeal cancer often presents as persistent cough or sore throat. This symptom may last for weeks or months.

3. Throat discomfort: Laryngeal cancer may cause discomfort in the throat or pharynx, including tingling, burning or foreign body sensation.

4. Difficulty swallowing: Throat cancer may cause difficulty swallowing or the feeling that food is stuck in the throat. This is because the tumor may block the passage of food through the throat.

5. Lumps or swelling in the neck: Throat cancer may cause swelling or lumps in the lymph nodes in the neck. This is because the cancer cells may have spread to nearby lymph nodes.

During the treatment, you need to develop good living habits, pay attention to your diet, mainly eat light food, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, such as apples, cucumbers, etc., rest and ensure enough sleep time to improve your own immunity.
