Does throat cancer spread?
Laryngeal cancer is a relatively common type of head and neck malignancy, which may spread or metastasize. Generally, early-stage laryngeal cancer is less likely to spread, primarily occurring in the middle to late stages. Commonly, there is metastasis to the cervical lymph nodes, and some patients may also experience metastasis to other parts such as the lungs, liver, or bones, with individual variations in the specific metastasis patterns. Patients with laryngeal cancer need to seek prompt medical consultation in an otolaryngology department and undergo relevant diagnostic tests to assess the severity of the condition. If metastasis or spread has already occurred, treatment can be very challenging, and many patients do not achieve ideal therapeutic outcomes.
