Early symptom treatment of laryngeal cancer?

summary

Laryngeal cancer is divided into primary and secondary. Primary laryngeal carcinoma refers to the tumor located in the larynx, and squamous cell carcinoma is the most common. Secondary laryngeal cancer refers to the metastasis of malignant tumor from other parts to the larynx, which is rare. The main symptoms of laryngeal cancer were hoarseness, dyspnea, cough, dysphagia and cervical lymph node metastasis. High risk groups should pay attention to smoking cessation, appropriate drinking and prevention. Early symptom treatment of laryngeal cancer? Let's talk about it

Early symptom treatment of laryngeal cancer?

Most of them are located at the root of epiglottis. In the early stage, there are no symptoms, even when the tumor develops to a certain extent, there are only slight or non-specific feelings, such as itching, foreign body sensation, swallowing discomfort, etc., which often cause alarm when the tumor has lymph node metastasis.

This type of tumor has poor differentiation, rapid development, pharyngeal pain and radiation to the ear when deep infiltration occurs. Hoarseness can be caused if the tumor invades spoon cartilage, paraglottic or recurrent laryngeal nerve. Late patients will have breathing and swallowing difficulties, cough, sputum with blood, hemoptysis and so on. Therefore, the middle-aged patients with persistent throat discomfort should pay attention to timely examination and early detection and treatment of tumor.

Because the primary site is the vocal cord, the early symptoms are voice changes, such as voice fatigue, weakness, easy to be considered as "pharyngitis", so over 40 years old, hoarseness more than 2 weeks, should be carefully examined by laryngoscope. With the development of the tumor, hoarseness may aggravate or even lose voice, and the increase of tumor volume may cause dyspnea. In the late stage, with the development of the tumor to the supraglottic or infraglottic region, it may be accompanied by radiation otodynia, dyspnea, dysphagia, expectoration and halitosis. Finally, they may die of massive hemorrhage, aspiration pneumonia or cachexia. In general, this type is not easy to metastasize, but when the tumor breaks through the glottic area, lymph node metastasis occurs quickly.

matters needing attention

(1) Laryngoscopic resection is suitable for laryngeal carcinoma in situ or mild invasive lesions. At present, laryngeal laser surgery and plasma surgery are gradually promoted, with the advantages of minimally invasive, less bleeding, low tumor dissemination rate, good voice retention function and so on. It is mainly suitable for early cases（ 2) Partial laryngectomy includes laryngectomy and vocal cord resection; Partial frontal laryngectomy; Vertical hemilaryngectomy; There are also some corresponding improvements, according to the scope of glottic cancer invasion.
