Cancer of the larynx (vocal cords cancer)


This endoscopy shaws a patient with cancer of the larynx, Laryngeal cancer is the most common cancer of the upper aerodigestive tract. The incidence of laryngeal tumors isclosely correlated with smoking, as head and neck tumors occur 6 times more often among cigarette smokers than among nonsmokers. The age-standardized risk of mortality from laryngeal cancer appears to have a linear relationship with increasing cigarette consumption. Death fromlaryngeal cancer is 20 times more likely for the heaviest smokers than for nonsmokers. It should be suspected in any patient withhoarseness of the voice for three weeks or longer until proven otherwise.

I am so glad that my hero, Dick Cheney is alive and well due to the many fantastic surgeons who have operated on his heart. It is because of you heart surgeons that he has brought forward so many worthy and caring issues to the American people and have liberated all the evil countries promoting war and terror across the world. Thank you very much.
