What is good for patients with throat cancer to eat?
Laryngeal cancer is a common disease in otolaryngology and is also a type of malignant tumor with a high degree of malignancy. Before surgery, it is generally recommended that patients with laryngeal cancer primarily consume a warm, semi-liquid diet, and avoid spicy and overly greasy food. It is important to control the patient's blood pressure and blood sugar. Additionally, once a tumor diagnosis is confirmed, timely surgical treatment should be carried out to remove the tumor. After surgery, patients typically need to fast from water for about 2-3 weeks and are fed through a gastric tube. During this time, a liquid diet should predominate and can be supplemented with eggs and minced meat to enhance protein intake and resistance, thereby improving immunity.
What causes nasal polyps?
Nasal polyps are a common otolaryngological condition, primarily formed due to chronic inflammation of the nasal cavity in patients, or stimulation from smoking, drinking, and physicochemical factors of air pollution, leading to the proliferation of tissues in the nasal cavity and sinuses. The main symptoms caused by nasal polyps include nasal congestion, runny nose, headaches, and nasal bleeding. The most effective treatment for nasal polyps is functional endoscopic sinus surgery, which involves the removal of the proliferative polyp tissues, thereby restoring normal ventilation and physiological functions to the nasal cavity and improving the patient's symptoms.
Can throat cancer be cured?
Laryngeal cancer is a type of malignant tumor in otolaryngology, divided into primary and secondary types. Secondary tumors refer to malignant tumors that have metastasized from other parts of the body, which are relatively rare; while primary tumors originate in the laryngeal area, with squamous cell carcinoma being the most common. For early-stage laryngeal cancer patients, it is generally necessary to detect and treat the disease early. Minimally invasive surgery using methods such as carbon dioxide laser can be used to remove the tumor, and patients can be cured. However, for hypopharyngeal cancer and late-stage tumors, due to the biological characteristics of the patients, early metastasis is common, making complete recovery difficult. Recurrence is also possible. Therefore, timely treatment is necessary, and postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy are needed to further augment treatment, aiming to extend the patient's survival period as much as possible.
Can adenoid hypertrophy be seen with the naked eye?
Adenoid hypertrophy is a common disease in otolaryngology, and it is not visible to the naked eye. The diagnosis of excessive growth and hypertrophy of adenoid tissue is mainly made through electronic nasopharyngoscopy and lateral nasopharyngeal radiograph examinations. Typically, if the adenoid tissue occupies more than 2/3 of the posterior nasal aperture, it can be diagnosed as adenoid hypertrophy. Patients mainly show symptoms such as snoring, breath-holding, and hypoxia during sleep at night, as well as daytime sleepiness and reduced memory. Patients with adenoid hypertrophy require surgical ablation of the hypertrophied adenoid tissue to improve their sleep conditions at night and achieve cure.
recurrence rate of throat cancer after surgery
Throat cancer is a common malignant tumor in the head and neck diagnosed by otolaryngologists. Its occurrence is often related to prolonged smoking, drinking, air pollution, and other adverse environmental factors. Currently, the primary treatment for throat cancer is surgical intervention. The likelihood of recurrence after surgery varies from person to person. For early-stage throat cancer patients, the chance of recurrence is relatively low if a thorough excision is performed. Complete recovery rates are usually above 70%-80%. However, for patients with lymph node metastasis in the middle to late stages, recurrence rates are typically above 50%-60%.
Can throat cancer patients eat sea cucumber?
Patients with throat cancer can eat sea cucumbers, which contain rich proteins, trace elements, amino acids, and other components that are very beneficial to health. These can help improve the patient's immune function and resist the occurrence of tumors. Additionally, patients should eat more vegetables and fruits containing vitamins to help enhance their immune function. For diagnosing throat cancer, we mainly use electronic nasopharyngoscopy and CT scans of the throat area to make a clear diagnosis. After throat cancer occurs, we usually perform surgery as soon as possible to remove the tumor while trying to preserve as much of the patient's laryngeal function as possible, in order to improve the patient's quality of life.
What medicine should be taken for hypertrophic turbinates?
Nasal turbinate hypertrophy is a common and frequent disease in otolaryngology, mainly involving enlargement of the middle and inferior turbinates. Patients often develop bony, bubble-like formations in the middle turbinate, causing symptoms such as nasal congestion, contact headache, nasal itchiness, and runny nose. For patients with nasal turbinate hypertrophy, who often also suffer from sinusitis or chronic rhinitis, treatment primarily involves local anti-inflammatory measures. Additionally, the use of corticosteroid nasal sprays can help reduce swelling of the nasal mucosa and aid in relieving nasal congestion. (Please use medication under the guidance of a doctor.)
What should I do if I have a cough from throat cancer?
Laryngeal cancer is a common malignant tumor in otolaryngology. Patients with laryngeal cancer often experience coughs primarily because of the presence of tumors at the glottis, which then cause irritative coughs. For patients with the aforementioned symptoms, we should first diagnose the disease using a laryngoscope and CT scans of the throat area. Subsequently, it is crucial to remove the tumor through surgery as early as possible to achieve a complete cure. Post-surgery, patients usually undergo radiotherapy and chemotherapy. In the early stages before surgery, when the patient suffers from severe coughing, medications that clear the throat and benefit the voice can be used to alleviate the symptoms and reduce the patient's suffering. (Medication should be administered under the guidance of a doctor.)
Can benign throat cancer be cured?
Laryngeal cancer is a type of malignant tumor located in the larynx and is a common malignant tumor in otolaryngology, characterized by a high degree of malignancy and a tendency for early metastasis. Patients with laryngeal cancer primarily exhibit symptoms such as hoarseness, difficulty swallowing, and in later stages, breathing difficulties. Early detection and diagnosis of laryngeal cancer can lead to cure in most early-stage patients through treatments like laser surgery or open surgery. For mid to late-stage patients, in addition to surgical treatment, postoperative radiation and chemotherapy are generally required to manage symptoms and prevent metastasis of laryngeal cancer.
The difference between vocal cord polyps and pharyngitis
Pharyngitis is primarily a nonspecific inflammation of the throat, which can be divided into acute pharyngitis and chronic pharyngitis. Acute pharyngitis is mainly caused by bacterial infections affecting the mucous membrane and submucosal tissues of the throat, leading to symptoms such as dry throat, burning sensation, sore throat, and pain when swallowing. The main pathogens involved are often streptococcus and staphylococcus, among others. Patients with chronic pharyngitis mainly experience a foreign body sensation in the throat, along with dryness and itchiness. In contrast, patients with vocal cord polyps, which mainly differ from pharyngitis, exhibit hoarseness. Typically, pharyngitis patients do not exhibit obvious hoarseness. Differentiation between the two can be achieved through an examination with a laryngoscope, which can determine the presence of obvious polyp growth on the vocal cords, thereby distinguishing between vocal cord polyps and pharyngitis.
