The development speed of laryngeal cancer to the advanced stage mainly depends on the pathological type and the degree of differentiation, and there is no comparatively definite time standard.
Clinically, the majority of laryngeal cancer is squamous cell carcinoma, which is mostly highly differentiated and does not grow fast. If diagnosed as early laryngeal cancer, it should be diagnosed and treated early when metastasis has not occurred, and some patients can be cured and survive for a long time after timely treatment.
Of course, when the patient enters the middle or late stage, the difficulty of treatment will increase significantly and the prognosis will become worse, and in serious cases, it may even cause respiratory difficulties, requiring emergency tracheal intubation and other treatments. However, for most patients, after active and effective treatment, the patient’s discomfort can be improved, the quality of life can be improved, and the survival period can be prolonged.
