Presentation

For each condition, the text reviews causes, incidence, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic tests, differential diagnosis, treatment guidelines (for drug therapy, surgery, diet, pain control, and behavior modification), patient teaching [books.google.com]

Clinical Findings Patients with cancer of the oropharynx usually present with ulcerating cancers. Cervical lymph node metastases are a common presenting sign. [health.am]

Of patients presenting acutely with malignant airway obstructions, more than half will present in respiratory failure requiring emergency airway intervention. [clevelandclinicmeded.com]

The present study also indicated that there is no significant relationship between increased levels of the P53 factor and tumor location. The results of the present research are in accordance with the results obtained by Kazkayasi [18]. [biomedpharmajournal.org]

Patients may also present with other nonspecific symptoms like positional wheezing. [ijccm.org]

Respiratoric

  • Hoarseness

    The causes of hoarseness are determined after obtaining a detailed medical history of the circumstances preceding the onset of hoarseness and performing a thorough physical examination. [aafp.org]

    Differential diagnosis Other diagnoses that need to be considered include other causes of persistent hoarseness, sore throat, earache or cough, depending on the presentation. [patient.info]

    Unfortunately, 8 to 10 months may elapse before the first symptoms of hoarseness appear and a diagnosis is made.. [translatespanish.mobi]

    Anyone who is hoarse for more than 2 weeks should have laryngoscopy, a procedure in which the doctor directly visualizes the larynx after inserting an instrument called an endoscope. [online-health-care.com]

    […] is almost immediate (1st sign) -Hoarseness longer than 2 weeks is NEVER normal! [quizlet.com]

Workup

Diagnostic tests The usual workup includes laryngoscopy, xeroradiography, biopsy, laryngeal tomography and computed tomography scans, and laryngography to visualize and define the tumor and its borders. [lifenurses.com]

Treatment

Part II covers more than 50 treatments; Part III, more than 75 procedures; and Part IV, more than 130 diagnostic tests. Entries in each section follow a consistent format. [books.google.com]

Treatment of laryngeal cancer has evolved as medical advances have created more treatment options. Total and partial laryngectomy surgeries were the initial treatment for laryngeal cancer and were developed in the 19th century. [entokey.com]

TL is not the only available treatment option for such lesions anymore. [journalotohns.biomedcentral.com]

The role of accelerated or hyperfractionated treatment is to increase the total dose delivered and, if possible, shorten the overall treatment time. [e-crt.org]

Assessments were conducted pre-treatment, post-treatment and at 3- month follow-up. [aetna.com]

Prognosis

Prognosis Overall, 7 in 10 men with laryngeal cancer survive the disease for five years or more. [patient.info]

Other studies have related apoptotic markers to prognosis in ovarian carcinoma. [nature.com]

P53 Overexpression Impacts on the Prognosis of Laryngeal Squamous Cell Carcinomas. Asian Pacific J Cancer Prev .2011;12(7):1731-4. (Visited 364 times, 2 visits today) [biomedpharmajournal.org]

Prognosis was significantly superior for cases treated with primary surgery compared to cases solely managed with non-surgical modalities. Positive surgical margins and regional disease worsened prognosis. [journalotohns.biomedcentral.com]

Etiology

[…] laryngeal CA -Linked to heavy smoking and alcohol use -80% probably smoked -Alcohol increases risk enormously when combined with smoking, but not in isolation-synergistic effect between smoking and alcohol Etiology -GERD often accompanies -Secondhand [quizlet.com]

Tobacco, alcohol, asbestos, and nickel in the etiology of cancer of the larynx: a case-control study. Journal of the National Cancer Institute. [headandneckcancerguide.org]

[…] cord (medialization laryngoplasty) are the primary treatment options after identifying and treating the etiology of the paralysis. [aafp.org]

Until the complex molecular interactions of all associated etiologic agents for any cancer can be understood, these interactions are best thought of as associations. [emedicine.medscape.com]

There is an ongoing debate as to the etiology of the decrease in survival as to whether using chemoradiation versus total laryngectomy for earlier stage disease is the cause. Laryngeal malignancies can occur in all three subsites of the larynx. [entokey.com]

Epidemiology

Epidemiology of squamous cell cancer of the head and neck.OtolaryngolClin North Am 1985; 18: 367-88. [biomedpharmajournal.org]

Laryngeal cancer includes tumours of the supraglottis, glottis or subglottis. [ 1 ] Within the larynx, the glottis is most frequently affected. [ 2 ] Epidemiology [ 3 ] Cancer of the larynx is the second most common form of head and neck cancer. [patient.info]

Epidemiology Frequency According to the SEER Cancer Statistics Review of the National Cancer Institute, an estimated 12,260 men and women will be diagnosed with cancer of the larynx in 2013; of those, 3,670 patients will die. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Epidemiology Approximately 80,000 cases of malignant airway obstruction are treated annually in the United States. Cases of CAO occur in 20% to 30% of lung cancer patients. [clevelandclinicmeded.com]

Pathophysiology

For each condition, the text reviews causes, incidence, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic tests, differential diagnosis, treatment guidelines (for drug therapy, surgery, diet, pain control, and behavior modification), patient teaching [books.google.com]

Laryngeal cancer pathophysiology Laryngeal cancer can be basically classified as either intrinsic or extrinsic. [cancerwall.com]

Studies were included if they reviewed the classification of functional dysphonia or the pathophysiology of MTD. [aetna.com]

ILM have a calcium regulation system profile suggestive of a better ability to handle calcium changes in comparison to other muscles, and this may provide a mechanistic insight for their unique pathophysiological properties [9] Clinical significance Disorders [ipfs.io]

Patients in whom HDAC1 was overexpressed and with low sensitivity to radiotherapy had a poorer overall 5-year survival rate. [2] Pathophysiology The larynx is an essential organ that is responsible for the following vital functions: Maintaining an open [emedicine.medscape.com]

Prevention

Lymph Not very much lymph, which is good since it prevents cancer spread. Histology Like most of the respiratory tract, its mostly non-keratinized ciliated columnar epithelium. [medrevise.co.uk]

[…] post this diagnosis could prevent cancer) Symptoms -Depend on location of tumor -Hoarseness is almost immediate (1st sign) -Hoarseness longer than 2 weeks is NEVER normal! [quizlet.com]

Laryngeal cancer treatment The goal of laryngeal cancer treatment is to remove the cancer and prevent it from spreading to other parts of the body. [cancerwall.com]
