Throat cancer signs and symptoms

Please help EJ: leave a comment about your throat cancer signs and symptoms to help others going to the doctor in the earliest stage possible of a throat cancer.

 

EJ asked in Ask your question | Share your throat cancer story, whether:

 

  • a swollen bump on ones neck would itch if it has anything to do with throat cancer ?

 

Main thing is to go and see your doctor. Commonly bumps or swellings in the neck are enlarged lymph nodes, caused by:

 

  • bacterial infections,
  • viral infections,
  • cancer
  • other rare causes.

 

Since you are concerned: ask for an X-ray or CT scan asap or in the very near future when the bumps keep itching or present and your doctor has no clue why nor how to solve it.

 

Have a second look at our throat cancer signs and symptoms page as well.

stages of throat cancer

 

There are 4 stages of throat cancer depending on the size of the cancer and where the cancer has spread to. Be aware that there are 2 ways of staging a cancer.

 

In stead of focusing on "the number" of your cancer stage, just ask your doctor what he means exactly!

 

Doctors need to know which stage of throat cancer you have to adjust their cancer treatment accordingly:

 

  • in early stage throat cancers treatment often only involves removing the tumor with surgery
     
  • in later stages when the throat cancer has spread (so called ‘mestastized throat cancer’) chemotherapy and or radiotherapy will be needed to destroy the cancer cells. Often the cancer won’t be killed completely.

 

Stages of throat cancer according to size

 

Stage 1 throat cancer

 

The cancer and is less than one inch and has not spread.

 

Stage 2

 

The cancer is between one and two inches and has not spread.

 

Stage 3

 

The cancer is more than two inches and has spread to one lymph node on the same side of the neck.

 

Stage 4 throat cancer

 

The cancer has spread to other tissues, namely the lips and mouth.

The cancer has spread to multiple lymph nodes on the same side of the neck or to one lymph node on the opposite side of the neck,
or one lymph node is greater than three inches in diameter.

 

Stages of esophagus cancer depending to where the cancer has spread

 

In this type of staging doctors try to have an indication where the cancer has spread or could have spread.

 

Stage O throat cancer

 

There is no cancer yet but there is a tumor in the innermost layer of tissue lining the esophagus (also called: ‘carcinoma in situ’).

 

Stage I

 

The tumor is a cancer that has just started to move inside the esophagus. In stage I the cancer has made its way to the next layer of tissue still inside the wall of the esophagus.

 

Stage II

 

  • Stage IIA: The cancer is still inside the esophagus but has spread to the muscle or outer wall.
     
  • Stage IIB: The Cancer may have spread to any of the first three layers of the esophagus and to nearby lymph nodes.

 

Stage III

 

In stage III doctors are sure that the cancer has spread to the outer wall of the esophagus and maybe to tissues or lymph nodes nearby.

 

Stage IV

 

  • Stage IVA: The cancer has spread to the lymph nodes, be they nearby or distant.
     
  • Stage IVB: The cancer has spread to distant lymph nodes and/or organs in other parts of the body.

  • the lower the cancer stage, the more chance you have to undergo a successful throat cancer treatment
     
  • when interpreting the stages of throat cancer given by your doctor, always ask exactly what he means.

How did your throat cancer start

how did your throat cancer start

Question: how did your throat cancer start?

Answer: because I had oral sex…

 

Surprised?

 

I was since reading the throat cancer symptoms smoking sounded like the most logical start of throat cancer.

But when you look at it logically: anything you put in your mouth can cause trouble.

 

Tracing throat cancer:

 

  • an estimated 40 million Americans are infected with Human papillomavirus (HPV)
  • HPV is one of the most common sexual transmitted diseases (STDs)
  • HPV causes cervical cancer and is also linked to throat cancer

 

Where did your throat cancer start

 

When it comes to threating cancer, an important question to answer is ‘where did your throat cancer start’?

Throat cancer is ‘non medical’ term used to name a cancer around the nose, mouth and thoat-area. Cancers are treated according to where they started: the treatment for mouth cancer will be different than the treatment for cancer of the voice box.

 

It is important to know the exact name of the throat cancer to find:

 

  • the right information
  • the right treatment.

 

If you are not sure of the name of your cancer, ask your doctor or nurse to write it down for you.

 

Some throat cancers spread to lymph nodes (lymph glands) in the neck. This sometimes is the first sign of an already secondary cancer! People also call this a throat cancer but since it is a secondary cancer, it will be very differently treated than a "simple larynx" cancer.

Squamos cells and cancer

 

About 95 percent of thorat cancers start from ’squamous’ cells: thin, flat cells that line the larynx (voice-box) and hypopharynx (also known as laryngopharynx).

These squamous cells don’t become cancers suddenly. It starts when the cells begin to change. Smoking and heavy alcohol drinking usually cause the changes. The cells then become pre-cancerous.

 

Most of these pre-cancers will not become cancers when their cause (like smoking) stops. The good news is that these pre-cancers usually even go away.

 

Once the cancer is formed, it is called a "carcinoma": a cancer that hasn’t spread to other parts of the body.

 

Most very early can be cured by stripping or cutting away the lining of layers of cells.

Some are destroyed by a laser beam.

However, if the cancers are are not treated, they can spread.

 

Summarized

 

When it comes to cancer treatment, it is very imprtant to know where the throat cancer started.

When it comes to cancer pervention: please share with us how did your thoat cancer start.

I am the author of Metastatic Liver Cancer - How you share the cancer of your loved one.

If you are like me and you or your loved one gets cancer: you start looking on the Internet for answers, the latest treatments and similar cancer stories. We want to make your search a bit easier since time is suddenly overly precious.

Please ask any question that’s on your mind about cancer and we will answer you or find another cancer story that relates to your question.

Make sure you ask your doctor any question that comes through your mind and when they answer like what they did with us: "stop reading the Internet about cancer"… make sure you devote your time wisely with your loved one. Once he sleeps because the cancer does take away their energy, make sure you sleep enough yourself or use that time to surf the Internet.

Save some time buying the recommended cancer books,especially the Guaranteed Method For Beating Cancer, as it comes with a money back guarantee… You will find too many people trying to promise you cancer treatments you never heard of: make sure you only step into those that offer a money guarantee! (not many will do, cancer is not the easiest disease to cure…)
