Symptoms of neck and throat tumors

Hoarseness is the earliest and most common sign of pharyngeal cancer. Most cases of pharyngeal cancer originate from the vocal cord, that is, very small vocal cord tumors can also cause abnormal vocal cord vibration and hoarseness.

When pharyngeal cancer develops to a certain extent and produces ulcers and severe inflammation in the throat, it can cause nerve reflex pain. Early vocal cord tumors generally do not produce reflex pain, which mainly occurs in patients with advanced supraglottic tumors. The most common symptom is ipsilateral inner ear pain.

These symptoms are the early symptoms of supraglottic pharyngeal carcinoma, 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. This type of symptom is often not obvious at the beginning of the disease, so it is easy for patients and doctors to ignore it.

matters needing attention

Drinking a lot for a long time can lead to congestion and edema of the larynx, malnutrition and low immune function, which lays the foundation for the formation of cancer. Smoking directly damages organs and forms laryngeal cancer. The longer the smoking age, the higher the incidence rate. Nicotine, coal tar and benzopyrene in smoke are carcinogens.
