Laryngeal Cancer Screening at DRHC Dubai ENT Clinic

Laryngeal cancer is a serious condition that affects the larynx (voice box) and can impact breathing, speaking, and swallowing. Early detection through laryngeal cancer screening is crucial for effective treatment and improved outcomes. At DRHC Dubai ENT Clinic, our expert specialists offer advanced screening techniques to detect potential signs of laryngeal cancer in its earliest stages.

Who Should Consider Laryngeal Cancer Screening?

Screening is recommended for individuals at higher risk of developing laryngeal cancer, including those who:

• Have a history of long-term smoking or tobacco use
• Frequently consume alcohol
• Experience persistent hoarseness or voice changes
• Have a family history of head and neck cancers
• Suffer from chronic acid reflux (GERD)
• Have exposure to occupational hazards such as chemicals and asbestos

Signs and Symptoms of Laryngeal Cancer

Early symptoms of laryngeal cancer can be subtle and may include:

• Persistent hoarseness or voice changes lasting more than two weeks
• Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia) or a sensation of something stuck in the throat
• Chronic sore throat or cough that does not improve
• Ear pain without an obvious cause
• Unexplained weight loss
• Lump in the throat or neck
• Breathing difficulties or noisy breathing (stridor)

Laryngeal Cancer Screening Procedures at DRHC Dubai

At DRHC Dubai, we utilize cutting-edge technology to perform comprehensive laryngeal cancer screenings, including:

1. Laryngoscopy

A flexible or rigid scope is used to examine the larynx and vocal cords for abnormalities.

2. Narrow Band Imaging (NBI)

This advanced optical technology enhances the detection of precancerous or cancerous lesions in the larynx.

3. Stroboscopy

Used to assess vocal cord function and detect irregularities in vibration.

4. Biopsy and Histopathological Analysis

If an abnormal growth is detected, a tissue sample is taken for further examination.

5. Imaging Tests (CT, MRI, PET Scans)

For detailed evaluation, imaging scans may be recommended to assess tumor size and spread.

Benefits of Early Screening

• Higher chance of successful treatment if cancer is detected early
• Minimally invasive procedures for early-stage detection
• Prevention of advanced complications by identifying precancerous changes
• Preservation of voice and breathing function through timely intervention
