诊断
在喉癌的诊断中, 你的十大赌博平台排行榜会先记录你的病史, asking about any 症状 you may be experiencing and conducting a thorough physical examination. Your doctor may also may recommend one or more of the following diagnostic tests:
- 内窥镜检查 This test is performed in the operating room with general anesthesia to determine the extent of the tumor. 在手术过程中, the upper portion of the gastrointestinal tract and respiratory tract are visualized with endoscopes, 它们很长, 薄而柔韧的管子配有微型摄像机和末端的灯. The endoscope is used to look at areas in the throat and respiratory tract that cannot be seen during a physical exam. 其他检查的部位包括食道、气管和肺支气管. The endoscope has a channel that allows instruments to be passed through in order to take tissue samples. 通过调整内窥镜上的各种控制, the doctor can safely maneuver the instrument to carefully examine the inside lining of the upper portion of the gastrointestinal tract and respiratory tract. 来自内窥镜的高质量图像显示在电视显示器上. 在许多情况下，内窥镜检查比x光检查更精确.
- 成像测试 你的十大赌博平台排行榜也可能会建议你做影像学检查，比如 计算机断层扫描, 正电子发射断层扫描(PET), or 核磁共振成像, which provide additional information regarding the stage of the tumor and whether the cancer has spread to surrounding lymph nodes in the neck or elsewhere in the body.
治疗
手术
手术前, your doctor will discuss the procedure with you in detail and discuss any possible side effects.
如果肿瘤很小并且是局部的, 手术通常能成功切除肿瘤，而且几乎没有副作用. 然而, 如果肿瘤已经发展到晚期并且已经扩散到周围区域, surgery will be more extensive and may involve the removal of parts of your throat, 口, 下颚或喉部. In these cases, your ability to speak, chew, swallow and breathe may be affected.
Reconstructive surgery can help restore your appearance and rehabilitate speech and swallowing function. Prosthetic devices in your 口 may replace removed portions of your teeth, gums and jaw. 在晚期病例中, you may need to use tubes for feeding and breathing and an artificial voice aid for speaking.
You will also work with a speech-language pathologist to assist you with problems related to speaking and swallowing. 除了, you may work with a dietitian who will help you develop a nutritional plan that includes healthy foods that are easy to swallow and chew.
放射治疗
放射治疗可用于选定的小肿瘤作为主要治疗方法. It is also administered following surgery or in combination with chemotherapy for advanced tumors.
化疗
化疗是使用药物杀死癌细胞. Researchers are looking for effective drugs or drug combinations to treat throat cancer. They are also exploring ways to combine chemotherapy with other forms of cancer treatment to help destroy the tumor and prevent the disease from spreading.
晚期肿瘤, 化疗通常与放射治疗联合进行, 通常是在治疗性临床试验的背景下.
