สูบบุหรี่ ดื่มแอลกอฮอล์ มาเป็นเวลานาน อาจเสี่ยง! มะเร็งกล่องเสียง

&lsquo;Laryngeal Cancer&rsquo; is more commonly found in men than women because the risk factors that trigger this type of cancer are smoking and alcohol consumption. Although many people smoke and drink continuously from their teenage years, this danger does not immediately affect the body at that time. However, what we gradually accumulate in our bodies will begin to show when life reaches middle age. If the accumulation is severe, it may appear as a malignant tumor or cancer. So how do we know if there is an abnormality inside the body? Here is the knowledge about laryngeal cancer that Dr. Chantima Arayangkur, a specialist at the Head and Neck Surgery Center, Phyathai 2 Hospital, will explain to us.
Early warning symptoms.. “Laryngeal Cancer”
<ul>
<li>Persistent hoarseness for a long time</li>
<li>Difficulty swallowing, painful throat when swallowing</li>
<li style="">If severe, difficulty breathing or shortness of breath</li>
</ul>
Diagnostic examination to find the cause If laryngeal cancer is suspected and the patient visits the doctor, the doctor will diagnose by physical examination as follows:
<ul>
<li>Examination of the ear, nose, and throat system</li>
<li>Endoscopy to look for abnormalities in the tumor. If a tumor is found, a biopsy will be performed to check if it is malignant.</li>
<li>&nbsp;If the patient presents with a neck mass, the doctor will perform a needle biopsy of the neck mass.</li>
<li>Physical examination</li>
<li>Blood tests</li>
<li>X-ray to stage the disease and treat accordingly</li>
</ul>
<h2 style=" color: #008080;">Treatment approach for laryngeal cancer</h2>
<ul>
<li>In the early stage, radiation therapy is used to try to preserve the larynx so the patient can still speak and breathe, or surgery may be performed.</li>
<li>In the advanced stage, laryngectomy is performed to remove the larynx or lymph nodes containing malignant tissue. After treatment, the patient will no longer have a larynx, so they cannot breathe through the nose or speak. However, the patient will be able to breathe through a tracheostomy and must learn to speak using air from the stomach, assistive devices, or an artificial larynx to regain communication. At this stage, surgery must be combined with radiation therapy and chemotherapy to give the patient a chance for a cure, or chemotherapy combined with radiation therapy.</li>
</ul>
<h2 style=" color: #008080;">Dangers that may occur… if left untreated</h2>
<ul>
<li>If laryngeal cancer is left untreated for a long time, it will cause the patient to be unable to breathe because the size of the tumor blocks the airway, requiring a tracheostomy. If the patient arrives at the hospital too late and cannot breathe, it may be fatal immediately.</li>
<li>Cancer may spread to adjacent organs such as the esophagus, tongue base, and trachea, causing bleeding, inability to eat, difficulty breathing, and ultimately leading to death. It may also spread to the lungs, bones, and liver.</li>
</ul>
<h2 style=" color: #008080;">How to take care of yourself to stay away from laryngeal cancer</h2>
<ul>
<li>The best care for the body is to reduce risk factors for cancer by avoiding smoking, alcohol consumption, and maintaining good health.</li>
<li>If any abnormalities occur in the body, such as persistent hoarseness, chronic sore throat, or difficulty breathing, you should see a doctor immediately and not ignore the symptoms or self-medicate, because we cannot know if the minor abnormalities we feel at that time are caused by malignant tumors inside.</li>
</ul>
