Patients and health care doctors should never neglect the diagnosis and treatment because the disease is not obvious.

Inner ear pain: when the development of laryngeal cancer to a certain extent and in the throat stomach ulcer and severe inflammation, can cause nerve reflex pain. Early vocal cord tumors generally do not produce reflex pain. Reflex pain mainly occurs in patients with advanced supraglottic tumors. The most common symptom is ipsilateral inner ear pain.

Pharyngeal foreign body sensation or swallowing pain: these symptoms are the early symptoms of supraglottic laryngeal 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. 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.
