The pressure in the throat may be caused by a tumor in the neck pressing on the airway, and common tumors in the neck include benign and malignant tumors of the thyroid, and benign and malignant tumors of the larynx.
Thyroid cancer is the most common malignant tumor of the thyroid gland. It is more common in women and can occur at any age, but is more common in young adults. The treatment principle of thyroid cancer is a comprehensive treatment based on surgery. The treatment method depends on the age of the patient, the pathological type of the tumor, the extent of the lesion and the general condition. Surgery is the first choice, followed by endocrine therapy and, if necessary, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. As long as there is an indication for surgery, thyroid cancer should be removed by surgery as much as possible. For patients with inoperable advanced thyroid cancer or tumor involving important blood vessels or organs, interventional therapy can be used to prolong the survival of patients. For patients who cannot tolerate surgical treatment, physical ablation methods such as microwave, laser, and radiofrequency can be considered.
The main symptoms of laryngeal cancer are hoarseness, dyspnea, cough, dysphagia, and lymph node metastasis in the neck. Taking pathological biopsy is the most important method to determine laryngeal cancer. After the diagnosis of laryngeal cancer is confirmed, the appropriate treatment plan should be chosen as early as possible to start treatment according to the situation, and currently the main treatment options are: 1. Surgical treatment: depending on the location of the cancer, different procedures can be used: supported laryngoscopic resection, including traditional apparatus resection, laryngeal laser, and plasma surgery. Partial laryngectomy, chosen according to the extent of cancer invasion. Supraglottic laryngectomy For supraglottic cancer. Total laryngectomy For advanced laryngeal cancer.2. Radiation therapy: 60 cobalt and linear gas pedal are the main means of radiation therapy at present.3. Combined surgery and radiation therapy: refers to surgery plus preoperative or postoperative radiation therapy, which can be combined with surgery.4. Chemotherapy: divided into induction chemotherapy, adjuvant chemotherapy, palliative chemotherapy, etc. according to their effects.
