The carcinoma larynx, also known as laryngeal cancer, is a type of cancer that starts in the voice box and throat. It is the most common cancer of the head and neck, with an estimated 65,980 new cases in the United States each year.
The larynx is a tube-shaped structure that connects the mouth and nose to the lungs. It is also responsible for producing sounds and swallowing food and drink. Carcinomas arise from cells in the larynx, which can develop into malignant tumors.
The symptoms of laryngeal cancer can include:
Persistent cough
Hoarseness
Shortness of breath
Difficulty swallowing
Pain in the neck
Swelling of the face and throat
