Tonsillectomy's disease overview

tonsil cancer is a type of cancer derived from cells in tonsils. The tonsils are two oval parts behind the mouth and are part of the immune system that plays the role of killing microorganisms. The most tonsillectomy occurs in the tonsils, located on the sides of the throat, the disease can also appear in the throat tonsils (also known as the throat wart), located at the back After the tongue. Most cases of tonsil cancer are thorn cell carcinoma, arising from the oral mucosa, besides that, the amidan lymphoma can also appear (a type of immune system cancer). P>

Main illness of men, aged 40-60, including tumors into tonsils as well as front and rear pillars to form an anatomical part of the pharynx. In many cases, it is difficult to determine the starting point, it is not clear that the tonsils are from the tonsils or the tonsils walls because they are closely related to each other.

Is the tonsil cancer dangerous ? Cancer is a dangerous disease and has a highest mortality rate among all diseases. Therefore, when someone unfortunately have cancer people will immediately think that the patient will not live longer. For those with tonsill cancer is no exception. Tonsill cancer is a non -communicable disease, not a infectious disease from person to person. When tonsill cancer is detected early, controlled by health by regular health check -up, tonsil cancer can be cured and controlled.

Causes of Tonsillectomy's disease

Here are some causes of tonsil cancer

Smoking: The substances in cigarettes are easy to cause cancers in the mouth, neck and lungs. Increase. Hygiene clean mouth: The mouth area is not clean will create conditions for the virus, bacteria to grow and cause many other diseases, not just tonsil cancer.

Avoid contact with toxic chemicals and radiation. >

Keep the oral hygiene clean and properly. Limit fried or grilled foods, limit salt intake.

Diagnostic measures for Tonsillectomy's disease

Definite diagnosis: mainly based on microscopic results, in case of biopsy that is difficult due to bleeding ulcerative ulcer of the tonsils, we can also rely on the results of the lymph node biopsy. When diagnosis also needs to evaluate the spread of the tumor so in addition to direct examination, we need to touch the tonsils and surrounding areas as well as the evaluation of metastatic lymph nodes. It can be said that about 20% of patients who come to the examination for the first time because of the neck lymphadenopathy and about 75% of patients who come to the examination due to tonsil cancer are easily touched.

Small needle suction (medical staff will take out a small amount of tissue from the tonsils with metallic tonsils and check cells under the microscope);

Blood test;

X-ray; Li>

Classification of cancer into four stages helps the doctor know how much cancer has been. Below are details of the stages:

Stage I: Small tumor (less than 2 cm) is limited to the tonsil area and without metastases to the surrounding lymph nodes; 2-4 cm but not metastatic; Lymph nodes 3 cm or smaller; > Distinguish diagnosis: Because patients often come to the stage late, the diagnosis is not very difficult, except for the case in the early stage and especially with deep, non -ulcerative forms, often must be distinguished from the following diseases. Here:

With an infected ulcerative tumor: However, it is rare but it is necessary to avoid confusion with an ulcerative, but the tuberculosis lesions are generally less resident in the tonsils and less contaminated to the deep side, usually Common in patients with tuberculosis is progressing. Pay attention to a syphilis (or a corrosive tonsils or a syphilis era in period 3). Distinguished diagnosis in addition to microscopic results should be based on serum reactions and tuberculosis tests. And there are some characteristics such as irregular ulcers, dirty ulcers with blood pus or fake layer covered, non -solid ulcer and often accompanied by inflammatory lymphadenopathy in the neck, quickly moving the rest and hygiene regime Good. The tumor on the throat, the tumor of the ear gland, the large neck lymph nodes push the tonsillectomy ... or due to the tumors of the arch, the back of the pharynx, the junction of the larynx ... The tumor and tumor of the pharynx at the end of the stage may have ulcers and spread to the tonsils, but these tumors progress slowly, the process of movements is relatively long or recurrent so it is easy to diagnose. In fact, the most important in diagnostic distinction is the accurate assessment of the organization of the lesion. The assessment of the primitive position of the tumor is in the tonsils or the pharynx in the late phase is very difficult and does not mean much for the treatment regimen. Particularly, in the case of starting with neck lymphadenopathy, it is necessary to distinguish distinguished with chronic neck lymphadenitis such as tuberculosis, blood cancer.

Tonsillectomy's disease treatments

In recent years, for tonsill cancer, it is mainly treated with radiation including neck lymphadenopathy, because in general this type of cancer is sensitive to radiation. Surgery is only to solve cases that have already been ray but tonsils or lymph nodes are left. In addition, cases of suspected tonsil cancer but many times the biopsy is still negative, the surgery is for two purposes: wide cutting tonsil organization and sending all the biopsy as a biopsy to find cancer organizations.

tonsil cancer is also treated mainly by 3 methods: surgery, radiation and chemotherapy like other types of cancers. In particular, surgery and radiation are often applied in the early stages and the development stage and chemotherapy is often adjusted to treatment at the end.

Surgical surgery is a method to help treat malignant tumors. Depending on the size and level of the effect of the tumor, there will be different surgical methods. After surgery, there is a very common side effect that the pronunciation function will be affected and the voice will often be changed. Combined with surgery to increase the effectiveness of treatment and destroy the remaining cancer cells after surgery. Cancer cells. Chemotherapy is usually indicated at the end of the disease.
