    1. Stubborn hoarseness: Hoarseness is the earliest and most common sign of pharyngeal cancer. Most cases of pharyngeal cancer begin in the vocal cords, i.e., very small vocal cord tumors can cause abnormal vocal cord vibrations and hoarseness.

    2. Inner ear pain: When pharyngeal cancer develops to a certain extent and produces ulcers and severe inflammation in the throat, it can cause reflex pain of nerves. Early vocal cord tumors generally do not produce reflex pain.

    Reflex pain is predominantly present in patients with mid-to-advanced supraglottic tumors. The most common symptom is ipsilateral inner ear pain.

    3. Foreign body sensation or painful swallowing in the throat: These symptoms are early symptoms of supraglottic pharyngeal cancer, but once the tumor originating in the vocal cords develops to the middle and late stages, it will also produce foreign body sensation in the throat or painful swallowing. This type of symptom is often not noticeable at the onset of the disease, so it is easier for patients and doctors to ignore it.

    4. Bloodshot sputum: Because the tumor has a large number of abnormal new blood vessels, patients often find bloodshot in mucus or sputum after coughing. These symptoms are mainly seen in patients with supraglottic and subglottic tumors and patients with intermediate and advanced vocal cord tumors, and early vocal cord tumors generally do not cause bleeding.

    5. Dyspnea: When the tumor deteriorates seriously and increases in size at the primary site, it will directly block the trachea, affect breathing, or make the tracheal secretions unobstructed, resulting in dyspnea. This kind of imagination usually occurs only in advanced pharyngeal cancer.

    1.Supraglottic laryngeal cancer is usually primary in the epiglottis. In the early stage, there are no symptoms, and even when the tumor has progressed to a considerable extent, there are only mild or non-specific symptoms, such as throat itching, foreign body sensation, swallowing discomfort, etc., which usually cause alarm when the tumor has metastasis to cervical lymph nodes.

    This type of tumor differentiates poorly, develops rapidly, and may have a sore throat with deep invasion, worsen when swallowing, and radiate to the ear. If the tumor invades the arytenoid cartilage, paraglottic, or vocal cords downward, hoarseness can occur. Patients with advanced stages may have dyspnea, dysphagia, cough, blood in sputum, hemoptysis, etc.

    2.Glottic laryngeal cancer Because the primary site is the vocal cords, the early symptoms are voice changes, such as tiredness and weakness of the voice, which is easy to be regarded as laryngitis, so people over 40 years old and hoarse voice for more than 2 weeks should be carefully underwent laryngoscopy. As the tumor progresses, hoarseness may worsen or even lose voice, and the tumor may increase in size and cause dyspnea.

    In the advanced stage, as the tumor develops to the upper or lower glottal region, it may be accompanied by radiation otalgia, dyspnea, dysphagia, sputum production and bad breath. Eventually, death can occur from asphyxia, massive bleeding, aspiration pneumonia, or cachexia. This type is generally not prone to metastasis, but lymphatic metastasis occurs soon after the tumor breaks through the glottis region.

    3.Transglottic laryngeal cancer refers to laryngeal cancer that originates in the larynx and spans the supraglottic and glottic regions. It is not easy to detect in the early stage, and the tumor develops slowly, and it takes more than 6 months from the appearance of the first symptoms to the definitive diagnosis.

    Other symptoms] Distant metastases to the lungs, liver, or bones may occur in advanced stages.
