Laryngeal cancer Treatment

Overview

Laryngeal cancer also known as cancer of the larynx directly affects the tissues of the larynx, which is commonly referred to as the voice box. The larynx is located in the throat which plays an important role in producing sound and facilitating the passage of air into the lungs. Laryngeal cancer originates in the squamous cells lining the inside of the larynx

Ayurveda includes natural herbs and detoxification processes which helps treat potential cancer. Ayurvedic herbs have anti-cancer properties which helps in reducing inflammation and improves the immune system.

Laryngeal cancer treatment using ayurveda emphasizes on detoxification which helps eliminate accumulated toxins from the body and helps rejuvenate the system. Laryngeal cancer majorly affects the voice box making it sound more like chronic sore throat and hoarseness in the voice. It becomes difficult for a person with laryngeal cancer to swallow and gives a sensation of lump in the throat. 

Ayurvedic practices improve the overall functioning of the body by restricting the growth of cancer cells to further avoid them spreading to other parts of the body. It naturally heals the affected area and reduces pain. Ayurveda helps in-

  • Reduces throat pain 
  • Improves breathing 
  • Reduces swelling or lump in the neck 
  • Provies ease in swallowing 
  • Reduces pain and discomfort

Gojala

We use gojala in our cow-urine therapy, basically it means cow-urine extract, the main component in our medicine. This extract is made of the urine of the indigenous breeds of cow. Gojala has its own benefits because it’s beyond the possibility of any kind of contamination. It has high quality and is abundant. When gojala mixed with ayurvedic herbs it becomes more effective to treat any disease and favourable to the consequence of the particular disease. This extract is superimly tested and that’s why it’s more trustable and beneficial as well.

Causes 

Here are some common risk factors that are associated with an increased likelihood of developing laryngeal cancer:

  • Tobacco Use: The chemicals in tobacco smoke can damage the cells in the larynx and increase the risk of cancer development.

  • Excessive Alcohol Consumption: Alcohol can irritate and damage the tissues of the larynx, making them more susceptible to cancerous changes. 

  • Combined Tobacco and Alcohol Use: The risk of developing laryngeal cancer is significantly higher in individuals who both smoke and consume alcohol excessively than in those who have either habit alone.

  • Occupational Exposure to Carcinogens: Prolonged exposure to certain workplace chemicals and substances can increase the risk of laryngeal cancer. These include asbestos, wood dust, paint fumes, sulfuric acid mists, formaldehyde, and certain metals, such as nickel and chromium.

  • Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): Chronic acid reflux, which causes stomach acid to flow back into the esophagus and throat, has been associated with an increased risk of laryngeal cancer. 

  • Age and Gender: Laryngeal cancer is more common in individuals over the age of 55. Men are at a higher risk of developing laryngeal cancer than women, although the incidence in women has been increasing in recent years.

 

Prevention - 

Here are some preventive measures and lifestyle choices that can be beneficial:

  • Quit Smoking: 

  • Limit Alcohol Consumption

  • Practice Safe Sex and HPV Vaccination: 

  • Protect Against Occupational Exposures:

  • Maintain a Healthy Diet: 

  • Stay Hydrated and Optimize Vocal Health

  • Regular Medical Check-ups:

Symptoms 

The symptoms of laryngeal cancer can vary depending on the stage and location of the tumor. Here are some common symptoms associated with laryngeal cancer:

  • Persistent Hoarseness: The voice may sound raspy, weak, or breathy.

  • Chronic Sore Throat or Cough: The throat may feel constantly irritated or scratchy.

  • Difficulty Swallowing: There may be a sensation of food getting stuck in the throat or a feeling of a lump or obstruction.

  • Ear Pain: This pain, known as referred pain, occurs because the nerves that supply the larynx also extend to the ears.

  • Breathing Difficulties: This can cause shortness of breath, noisy breathing, or a sense of suffocation.

  • Unexplained Weight Loss: This can be due to a combination of factors, including reduced appetite, difficulty swallowing, and the metabolic effects of cancer.

  • Swelling or a Lump in the Neck: Laryngeal cancer can cause swelling or a visible lump in the neck due to enlarged lymph nodes or the spread of cancer cells to nearby tissues.

 

Types- 

The main types of laryngeal cancer are as follows:

  • Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Squamous cells are flat, thin cells that line the inside of the larynx. Squamous cell carcinoma develops when these cells become cancerous.

  • Adenocarcinoma: It develops from the glandular cells that produce mucus in the larynx. Adenocarcinoma of the larynx is more commonly seen in the supraglottis region (above the vocal cords).

  • Adenosquamous Carcinoma: Adenosquamous carcinoma is a rare type of laryngeal cancer that exhibits features of both squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. It is characterized by the presence of both squamous and glandular cells.

  • Small Cell Carcinoma: It primarily affects the neuroendocrine cells in the larynx. Small cell carcinoma tends to grow and spread quickly and is often associated with smoking.

 

Stages - 

Laryngeal cancer is typically staged using the TNM system, which stands for Tumor, Node, and Metastasis. The stages range from 0 to IV, with further subdivisions within some stages. Here are the stages of laryngeal cancer:

Stage 0 -

Carcinoma in situ, where abnormal cells are found in the lining of the larynx, but have not invaded deeper tissues or spread to lymph nodes or distant sites.

Stage 1- 

Tumor is limited to one area of the larynx and has not spread beyond it.

Subcategories:

  • IA: Tumor is small and confined to one vocal cord (T1a).

  • IB: Tumor involves both vocal cords or is limited to one vocal cord with mild involvement of the anterior commissure (T1b).

Stage 2-

Tumor has grown larger or has spread slightly beyond the larynx, but remains localized.

Subcategories:

  • IIA: Tumor involves both vocal cords or extends to the supraglottis, subglottis, or with impaired vocal cord mobility (T2).

  • IIB: Tumor extends to adjacent areas of the larynx or causes fixation of the vocal cord or impairment of the vocal cord movement (T3).

Stage 3-

Tumor has further spread within the larynx or to nearby tissues or structures.

Subcategories:

  • IIIA: Tumor extends to the laryngeal framework, causes vocal cord fixation, or invades the medial wall of the pyriform sinus (T3).

  • IIIB: Tumor invades the pre-epiglottic space, paraglottic space, and/or has regional lymph node involvement on the same side of the neck (T3 or T4a, N1).

Stage 4 -

Tumor has spread extensively within the larynx, to nearby tissues, lymph nodes, or distant sites.

Subcategories:

  • IVA: Tumor invades the thyroid/cricoid cartilage, hyoid bone, thyroid gland, or has regional lymph node involvement on the same side of the neck (T4a, N1 or N2a).

  • IVB: Tumor invades the prevertebral fascia, encases the carotid artery, invades the mediastinum, or has regional lymph node involvement on both sides of the neck (T4b, N2b, or N2c).

  • IVC: Tumor has spread to distant sites, such as distant lymph nodes, lungs, liver, or bones (M1)

 

Complications - 

  • Difficulty in swallowing: This can make it challenging to eat and drink, potentially leading to weight loss and malnutrition.

  • Speech related problems: Surgery or radiation therapy for laryngeal cancer can affect the vocal cords, leading to changes in voice quality or even loss of voice (laryngectomy). Individuals may require speech therapy or alternative communication methods to restore or adapt their ability to speak.

  • Breathing Problems: If the tumor grows and obstructs the airway, it can result in breathing difficulties. In some cases, surgical interventions may be needed to establish or maintain an open airway.

  • Lymphedema: Surgery or radiation therapy for laryngeal cancer can disrupt the lymphatic system, leading to the accumulation of fluid and swelling in the neck, known as lymphedema.

  • Pain and Discomfort: Laryngeal cancer and its treatments can cause pain and discomfort in the throat, neck, and surrounding areas. Pain management techniques, medications, and supportive care measures may be used to alleviate these symptoms.

  • Emotional and Psychological Impact: Dealing with a cancer diagnosis, undergoing treatment, and coping with potential changes in speech and appearance can have emotional and psychological effects.

  • Recurrence and Metastasis: Laryngeal cancer can recur even after successful treatment. Additionally, if the cancer spreads to other parts of the body (metastasis), it can lead to further complications and affect overall prognosis.
