In daily life, I believe that everyone will occasionally experience throat discomfort: they always feel nothing big, so they will endure it.
, and Mr. Chen (pseudonym) of Yuhang never expected that he went to the hospital for examination due to discomfort in his throat, but he did not expect to find throat cancer ...
Mr. Chen, 48 years old this year, from Yuhang, has always felt itchy throat and foreign body sensation in the past month.
At first, he thought that he might have just suffered from pharyngitis , so he took medicine on his own and drank some tea made with Chinese herbal medicine for deficiencies, but the discomfort in the throat did not relieve it. "The throat was like something stuck, I couldn't cough out, and I couldn't swallow it."

Very anxious, he checked relevant information online and thought that he might have suffered from reflux esophagitis . Recently, he came to the gastroenterology department of Yuhang Second Hospital for treatment.
After the gastroenterologist asked about the medical history in detail, he considered that Mr. Chen's condition was similar to the clinical manifestations of reflux esophagitis, but foreign bodies in the throat could not be ruled out. It is recommended to do gastroscopy first.
After detailed examination, no abnormal tissue or lesions were found in the esophagus and stomach. Instead, when passing through the throat, the image was swollen in the flake-like mucosa and abnormal color. Zhao Zhen felt bad at the center and had a high possibility of tumors. After biopsy, he was finally diagnosed with laryngeal cancer. After
, the doctor also learned from communication with Mr. Chen that he had a long history of smoking and drinking. In addition to socializing, he usually drinks half a glass of white wine every day, smoking about 20 cigarettes a day.
Studies have found that the risk of throat cancer among smokers is 4.08 times that among non-smokers, and the risk of throat cancer among alcoholics is 2.69 times that among non-drinkers. Patients with larger smoking and longer smoking are at a higher risk of laryngeal cancer. When smoking and drinking coexist, superimposed carcinogenic effects will occur.

In addition, the occurrence of laryngeal cancer is also related to a variety of factors, such as air pollution, occupational factors, viral infection, etc. laryngeal papilloma , white spots, etc. are common precancerous lesions . Although it may not necessarily develop into cancer, it should also be taken seriously.
Gastronomical physician Zhao Zhenzhong reminded: Laryngeal cancer is a relatively common malignant tumor. Early laryngeal cancer often manifests as pharyngeal discomfort, such as foreign body sensation in the pharyngeal, itchy throat, cough, etc. In severe cases, chest tightness , difficulty breathing, and swelling of the throat may occur.
As the tumor spreads and metastasizes, it will also affect the functions of other organs, resulting in death from other organs.
Doctors recommend that when early symptoms of the throat appear, you must go to the hospital as soon as possible to ensure that early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment can be made.
