Are you an African patient looking for the best doctor for larynx cancer treatment in India? Cancer of the larynx, also called laryngeal cancer, develops in the tissues of the voice box (larynx). The larynx helps us breathe, swallow, and speak. The main causes of this cancer are smoking, chewing tobacco, drinking too much alcohol, and being around harmful chemicals for a long time. Early warning signs of this cancer often include a hoarse voice that doesn’t get better, a sore throat that lasts, trouble swallowing, or a lump in the neck. Finding it early makes treatment more successful.

This cancer not only affects health but also a person’s ability to talk and communicate, which can be very stressful. With modern treatments like surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and newer targeted medicines, many patients are living longer. Voice therapy and rehabilitation also help people speak better and maintain a good quality of life after treatment.

Types of Laryngeal Cancer

Doctors divide laryngeal cancer into three types based on where it starts:

Glottic Cancer – It starts in the vocal cords. This is the most common type.
Supraglottic Cancer – It starts above the vocal cords, in the upper part of the voice box.
Subglottic Cancer – It starts below the vocal cords. This type is not very common and is usually found late.
