What are the symptoms of throat cancer?
Throat cancer is a relatively common type of head and neck malignant tumor, with clinical symptoms varying among individuals. Common symptoms include throat pain, hoarseness, and a foreign body sensation in the throat. Some patients may experience swallowing obstruction and breathing difficulties. Overall, there are individual differences in specific symptoms. After these symptoms appear, it is necessary to promptly visit an otolaryngology department. An endoscopic examination of the throat is recommended to assess the extent of the cancer. Further examination with MRI and CT scans of the head and neck are needed to evaluate the staging and typing of the disease. Generally, a combination of surgery and radiochemotherapy should be considered for treatment.
