Cancer is feared by many people due to its many types and great harms, and among the many types of cancer, laryngeal cancer is a disease that is very easy to be ignored by patients;
This is mainly because the symptoms in the early stages of laryngeal cancer in patients are easily ignored, which has a lot to do with the fact that their symptoms are very similar to pharyngitis;
This also causes many patients to miss the best time for treatment after suffering from laryngeal cancer, and is prone to worsening conditions, which has a great impact on the treatment of laryngeal cancer.
So what are the early symptoms of laryngeal cancer in the clinic?
1. The patient's voice becomes hoarse
Among the many manifestations of the body's lesions, the appearance of hoarseness may seem like a trivial matter, but this symptom may be the earliest sign of a patient's glottis laryngeal cancer.
Laryngeal cancer generally refers to a tumor that grows in the vocal cords, which will affect the patient's vocal status when it develops to a certain level, and sometimes cause the patient to have hoarseness.
If the unexplained hoarseness lasts for two weeks, it is recommended that the patient need to go to the hospital for examination and find out the cause of the disease as soon as possible to prevent the emergence of laryngeal cancer.
2. Patients sometimes have symptoms of coughing up sputum with blood
Generally, when a patient has laryngeal cancer, due to the stimulation of the laryngeal tumor, it is very easy to cause a very obvious irritating dry cough in the body, and the patient often has a feeling of mucus viscosity.
If when the patient "clears the throat", it will be found that there are abnormal blood capillaries in the sputum, and when these symptoms appear, it is necessary to cause the patient to be alert, and it is recommended that you can go to the hospital for the corresponding examination as soon as possible.
3. Patients often feel foreign bodies in the throat
Generally clinically, if there is a foreign body or discomfort in the throat when swallowing, it is an early symptom of glottis laryngeal cancer.
Generally in the early stage of laryngeal cancer, these tumors can be completely removed under certain conditions through related treatment, and the patient's ability to speak can also be preserved.
However, when laryngeal cancer enters the advanced or intermediate stage, due to the large tumor located in the throat at this time and the wide range of involvement, the vocal cords may not be retained during the operation, which may cause the patient to be unable to speak normally for the rest of his life.
Therefore, if you have the above three symptoms, you should go to the hospital in time to check the body, and you must not take it lightly.
What are the causes of laryngeal cancer in patients?
1. Patients have long-term excessive drinking habits
Alcohol has a great impact on the health of the human body, if excessive alcohol consumption, it will stimulate and damage the mucosal epithelial cells of the larynx, which may lead to cancer in patients.
2, there is a serious air pollution phenomenon in the living environment
Some harmful gases can also easily lead to throat cancer, such as long-term inhalation of sulfur dioxide, industrial dust and so on.
Therefore, people in the chemical industry who have been engaged in pollution risks for a long time should pay more attention to their oral health, pay attention to protection, and maintain the health of their throats.
3. People with long-term smoking habits are prone to throat cancer
The tar and nicotine produced in cigarettes have a very strong carcinogenic effect, and these substances may cause symptoms of mucosal edema, hyperemia, and decreased ciliary movement after entering the human body;
Sometimes it can also lead to epithelial hyperplasia, squamous metaplasia, and cellular mutations, which can eventually become the basis for the emergence of cancer.
The above are several common symptoms of laryngeal cancer and the main cause of laryngeal cancer, in fact, the emergence of cancer has a lot to do with abnormal living habits, as long as patients can develop healthy living habits to a certain extent can avoid the emergence of cancer;
For example, not smoking or drinking, going to bed early and getting up early, paying attention to avoiding the impact of air pollution on the body, paying attention to personal protection, maintaining healthy physical exercise, etc. can effectively prevent the emergence of cancer.
