Laryngeal Cancer symptoms : Reporting symptoms to your GPThe symptoms for cancer of the larynx can be similar to symptoms for other illnesses. But it is important that you report any of them to your doctor. Hoarseness or a change in your voiceIf you have a hoarse voice for more than 3 weeks, it could be a sign of cancer of the larynx. This is one of the most common symptoms. But many other things can cause a hoarse voice. One of the most common causes is acute laryngitis (inflammation of the larynx). This usually happens due to a cold, a chest infection or over use of the voice, such as shouting or screaming.
Smoking can also cause hoarseness. This is due to irritation of the throat lining (mucous membranes). Other causes for hoarseness include - Acid reflux
- Post nasal drip
- Allergies
- Thyroid problems
- Injury
Many people develop hoarseness as they get older. Acid reflux can also cause hoarseness, as stomach acid comes back up the oesophagus and irritates the larynx. Post nasal drip means that mucus is dripping from the areas at the back of your nose down into your throat. This can be because you have a cold, an allergy or because you smoke. It makes you cough and can give you a hoarse voice.
See your GP if you are at all concerned about having a hoarse voice. But remember, it is more likely to be due to a cough or irritation than cancer. Difficulty in swallowingThis can vary from a feeling that there is a crumb stuck in your throat to being completely unable to swallow food. You may have some pain or a burning sensation when swallowing food. Or you may feel that your food is sticking. A harmless narrowing of the oesophagus (called a stricture) can cause difficulty in swallowing. But it may be because a tumour or swelling is causing a blockage. Either way, you need to see your doctor and get some treatment. Weight loss
Weight loss is a common symptom of many cancers, including cancer of the larynx. It usually happens with more advanced cancer of the larynx and is very unlikely to be the only symptom. It may happen because you are eating less due to pain or difficulty in swallowing. If you have lost 4 to 5 kg (10lbs) or more in a short time (and you are not dieting!) see your doctor.
Cough and shortness of breathSome people find that they are short of breath or have a cough that doesn't go. Other symptomsOther symptoms include - A feeling that there is a lump in your throat
- Bad smelling breath (halitosis)
- An ear ache that doesn’t go away (this is rare)

Early clues to stomach cancer are chronic dyspepsia and epigastric discomfort, followed in later stages by weight loss, anorexia, a feeling of fullness after eating, anemia and fatigue. Blood in the stools may also be present and if the Cancer is in the Cardia (top) vomiting may occur.
CAUSATION
The exact cause of stomach cancer is unknown although the presence of the Helicopter pylori bacterium seems to be a major factor. Predisposing factors include environmental influences such as smoking and high alcohol intake. Because stomach cancer is more common amongst those with a family history and with people with type A blood, genetic factors are also implicated. Dietary factors, particularly methods of food preservation such as pickling, smoking or salting also have an influence on the prevalence of stomach cancer.
DIAGNOSIS
Stomach cancer is diagnosed through an examination that may include an upper gastrointestinal (GI) series; endoscopy or gastroscopy where a thin flexible tube is passed down the throat so the doctor can see into the stomach, esophagus and upper part of the bowel Barium meals and Barium swallows. Because stomach cancer can spread to the liver, the pancreas, and other organs near the stomach as well as to the lungs, the doctor may order a CT scan, a PET scan, an endoscopic ultrasound exam, or other tests to check these areas.
Stomach cancer can spread (metastasize) to the esophagus or the small intestine, and can extend through the stomach wall to nearby lymph nodes and organs. Metastasis occurs in 80-90% of individuals with stomach cancer, with a five year survival rate of 75% in those diagnosed in early stages and less than 30% of those diagnosed in late stages.
TREATMENT
Although stomach cancer may be treated with surgery, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy, in many cases surgery is the treatment of choice. Even in patients whose disease is not considered surgically curable, resection offers a palliative effect and improves potential benefits from chemotherapy.
