When malignant tumor cells are located in the larynx, laryngeal cancer talk.

What produces it? Currently known factors that seem to have a relationship with laryngeal cancer. And among them are:

Snuff, snuff consumption, regardless of how it is consumed (cigarettes, cigars, snuff chewing …) increases the risk of laryngeal cancer Alcohol: Consumption of alcohol is a factor that increases the likelihood of breast cancer. And when associated with smoking, the harmful effect is enhanced greatly. Airway irritation, also seem to assume greater risk for this cancer is different factors that aggression or irritation in the area: (chronic laryngitis, misuse of the voice, GER …).

Symptoms In the majority of cases, cancer of the larynx, located in the supraglottis or subglottis, is diagnosed when symptoms require the patient to seek medical advice. However, the tumor located in the glottis can cause hoarseness of early so it is possible to diagnose cancer at early stages.

The most common symptoms are: Dysphonia (altered voice or hoarseness) is the most common symptom of laryngeal cancer. The patient notices changes in voice or hoarseness (without apparent infectious cause). But this symptom is common in people with chronic smoking, as hoarseness and coughing occur frequently.

Lymphadenopathy (lymph node) disease often spreads through the nearby lymph nodes in the neck area. This causes the glands to enlarge, sometimes to appreciate as a lump or nodule in the neck.

Pain is usually caused by swallowing, and is often accompanied by dry throat. Is nonspecific and may appear in different areas (at the throat …)

Dyspnea (shortness of breath): Sometimes, if the tumor grows large can cause breathlessness (dyspnea) to obstruct the airway. Stage 0 is the earliest stage of laryngeal cancer. Tumor cells are located in the most superficial mucosa and in any case the crosses. Not affected lymph nodes.

Stage I: The tumor involves the mucosa, but only in one region of the larynx, not extending to any other party of that body.

Stage II: Tumor affects many areas of the larynx (supraglottis and vocal cords, or glottis and subglottis).

Stage III: Cancer is limited to larynx with vocal cord fixed (does not invade nearby organs)

Stage IV: Cancer has spread, affecting the thyroid cartilage or structures (mouth or throat tissues)

Phases and Stages In order to indicate the most appropriate treatment for cancer of the larynx, it is important to “sort out” the tumor, ie, determine what stage.

Public transport is a resource in high demand, especially in those urban areas with enough population that have the means as the metro, a large fleet of buses or trams. However, it is an added risk and more in this time of year is when we usually get sick, and that the use of public transport multiplied by six the risk of respiratory infectious diseases.

According to a study conducted at the University of Nottingham (UK) people with increased susceptibility to these infections are those citizens who use public transport sporadically. I never really found an exact relationship between the use of public transport and the risk of these diseases.

The relevant study was developed at the same time there was an outbreak in the locality. The research sample was 138 subjects of whom half had a respiratory infection. They conducted a survey in which the big question was how often they used public transport recently before going to the doctor’s office.

The results showed a significant relationship between infection and the use of public transport, with the greatest risk in those who used only occasionally transport as there is less likely to develop protective antibodies against the virus if there is a little exposure.

Breathing techniques are increasingly used to prevent heart disease, prevent insomnia, and reduce stress, even in childbirth.
