What are the early symptoms of throat cancer

Symptom 1: pharyngeal discomfort, foreign body feeling, always feel that there is something in the pharynx that cannot be swallowed and vomited, irritating cough, dryness, swelling, blockage, itching, and sometimes sore throat. Early in the morning often spit out sticky phlegm, easy to cause nausea.

Symptom 2: the early symptoms of laryngeal cancer are not very obvious, and are often confused with the symptoms of laryngitis. But in the early stage, there will be some symptoms, such as foreign body sensation, sore throat, dysphagia, hoarseness and so on. It has many similarities with pharyngitis, so it is often mistaken for "inflamed" or pharyngitis attack.

Symptom 3: hoarseness. Glottic carcinoma is the most common type of laryngeal carcinoma in Guangdong Province. As the tumor grows on the vocal cord, it is easy to cause hoarseness in the early stage. For patients over 40 years old with hoarseness for more than 1 month, they can go to the hospital as soon as possible to investigate laryngeal cancer.

Symptom 4: foreign body sensation, obstruction sensation, dysphagia discomfort. The risk of laryngeal cancer should be paid attention to for those over 50 years old who have the above symptoms repeatedly for more than one month. Bloody sputum. If there is a small amount of blood in the sputum, especially the first sputum in the morning, we should be highly alert to the risk of throat cancer.

Symptom 5: sore throat. Pharyngeal foreign body sensation or swallowing pain: these symptoms are the early symptoms of supraglottic pharyngeal cancer, but once the tumor originated from the vocal cord develops to the middle and late stage, it will also produce pharyngeal foreign body sensation or swallowing pain.

Symptom 6: dysphagia, dyspnea, which is a relatively late symptom. But doctors say that about 60-70% of the patients, especially the patients with non glottic laryngeal cancer, see a doctor at this time. They often find that the cancer is in advanced stage, and the value and efficacy of treatment are greatly reduced.
