Laryngeal Cancer Specialist in Ahmedabad

What is laryngeal cancer?

Larynx cancer, also known as laryngeal cancer, is a type of throat cancer that affects the larynx or voice box — the organ responsible for producing sound, breathing, and protecting the airway during swallowing. It typically begins in the squamous cells lining the inside of the larynx. Common risk factors include smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and exposure to certain chemicals. Symptoms may include persistent hoarseness, sore throat, difficulty swallowing, or a lump in the neck. Early detection is crucial, as larynx cancer can often be treated effectively with surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy when caught in its early stages.

Laryngeal Cancer Symptoms

  • Here are six key symptoms of laryngeal cancer:
  • Persistent hoarseness or voice changes lasting more than two weeks
  • Chronic sore throat or the feeling of something stuck in the throat
  • Difficulty or pain while swallowing (dysphagia)
  • Lump or swelling in the neck that doesn’t go away
  • Persistent cough, sometimes with blood
  • Breathing difficulties or noisy breathing (stridor)
