What are the early symptoms of throat cancer

Symptom 1: stubborn hoarseness - 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.

Symptom 2: inner ear pain - 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.

Symptom 3: foreign body sensation in the throat - 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 foreign body sensation in the throat or swallowing pain. In clinical practice, because the symptoms of foreign body sensation in the throat are not obvious at the beginning, most patients with throat cancer are easy to ignore this symptom. Therefore, we should pay special attention to it at ordinary times.
