HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR LARYNGEAL CANCER

Laryngeal cancer, also known as cancer of the larynx or laryngeal carcinoma, are mostly squamous cell carcinomas  , reflecting their origin from the skin of the larynx.

Cancer can develop in any part of the larynx  , but the cure rate is affected by the location of the tumour. For the purposes of tumour staging, the larynx is divided into three anatomical regions: the glottis   (true vocal cords, anterior and posterior commissures); the supraglottis and the subglottis  

Most laryngeal cancers originate in the glottis  . Supraglottic cancers are less common, and subglottic tumours are least frequent.

Laryngeal cancer may spread by direct extension to adjacent structures, by metastasis  to regional cervical  lymph nodes, or more distantly, through the blood stream. Distant metastases to the lung   are most common

Symptoms --The symptoms of laryngeal cancer depend on the size and location of the tumour. Symptoms may include the following—Hoarseness or other voice changes, A lump in the neck, A sore throat or feeling that something is stuck in the throat, Persistent cough, Stridor-a high pitched wheezing sound indicative of a narrowed or obstructed airway, Bad breath, Earache, Difficulty swallowing
