There is no precise answer to how long one can live after surgery for early stage laryngeal cancer, because the treatment and postoperative care of each individual are different. Early stage laryngeal cancer has limited lesions without local infiltration and distant lymph nodes or bloodstream metastasis. After active and standardized surgical resection or laser surgery, the 5-year survival rate is about 80%-90%, and some patients can even be cured and survive for a long time. However, if early stage laryngeal cancer is not treated in time or the surgery is not complete, the tumor may continue to develop into middle and late stage, and the survival period of patients in this case will be relatively short. Therefore, the earlier the tumor is treated, the better the prognosis. Patients with laryngeal cancer should pay attention to avoid increasing wound tension and keep the airway open after surgery. After the wound heals, esophageal articulation should be practiced gradually. At the same time, attention should be paid to follow up to detect recurrence in time. In daily life, it is advisable to eat a nutritious and easily digestible diet, such as milk, eggs, millet porridge, etc., with small and frequent meals and fresh fruits and vegetables. Quit smoking and drinking, avoid staying up late, and exercise properly to enhance physical fitness.
