Otorhinolaryngology Cancer

Otorhinolaryngology cancer refers to cancers that affect the ear, nose, and throat (ENT) regions, which are often interrelated. This field of medicine, known as otorhinolaryngology, also encompasses related structures like the head and neck. Common types of ENT cancers include throat cancer, nasal cavity cancer, and cancers of the larynx (voice box). Symptoms can include difficulty swallowing, unusual lumps, or persistent hoarseness. Diagnosis typically involves examinations, imaging tests, and biopsies. Treatment may include surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy, depending on the cancer's type and stage. Early detection is crucial for better outcomes.
