It is a common phenomenon that symptoms similar to tonsil inflammation and colds occur frequently during the change of seasons or winter. Most people don’t recognize the importance of tonsils in their daily lives, but when tonsil cancer occurs, the situation changes rapidly. When cancer occurs in the tonsils, it is difficult to notice the symptoms in the early stages, but usually there are no clear signs until the lesion grows.
There are many lymph nodes in the tonsils, which can significantly reduce survival and treatment probability for tonsil cancer in advanced cancer conditions. Therefore, regular medical examinations are important for early diagnosis. What should I do if my tonsils become abnormal?
The immune functioning tonsils work actively for about two years after birth, and this function decreases in adulthood. Therefore, if inflammation occurs frequently in the tonsils after adulthood, symptoms can be relieved through tonsillectomy. Inflammation can be caused by direct infection from the tonsils when immunity is weakened or tired, and in severe cases, it can cause breathing inconvenience and difficulty swallowing saliva.
If this inflammation continues, the quality of life decreases and there is a risk of developing tonsil cancer due to cell deformation. Therefore, if you repeatedly feel foreign substances in your neck and have severe tonsillitis, it is recommended to visit a medical institution for proper examination and tonsil cancer treatment.
What are the risk factors for causing tonsil cancer? Causes of tonsil cancer include smoking, human papillomavirus (HPV), and genetic factors. Especially among smokers in their 40s and older, the incidence rate is high. However, the cause of tonsil cancer is not clear, so it is important to pay attention to risk factors and maintain a healthy lifestyle. In addition, early detection through regular medical examinations can increase the treatment rate.
Tonsal cancer shows several symptoms depending on the stage of progression. In particular, swallowing difficulties and discomfort in the back of the throat can have a significant impact on daily life as cancer grows. Cancer cells developed in the tonsils can cause difficulty swallowing food and cause swelling and foreign body sensation in the throat. Even if you don’t have difficulty breathing or pain, symptoms such as sputum mixed with blood can appear, so it is important to visit a medical institution immediately if these signs appear.
Surgical approaches may be required to treat tonsil cancer, and chemotherapy and radiation therapy may be combined depending on the stage of cancer. In addition, if cancer spreads to lymph nodes, surgery to remove lymph nodes can be considered. These treatments are determined by considering the size, location, and presence of metastasis.
I will also look into foods that are useful for tonsil cancer patients. For example, the stomach helps relieve inflammation and pain in the tonsils and reduces discomfort in the throat. It is recommended to warm up your stomach and drink it with juice.
Tomatoes and red paprika are rich in antioxidants, which help reduce tonsil swelling and reduce inflammation. Spinach and water parsley are also rich in various minerals and vitamins, which help prevent and manage tonsil cancer. These foods can contribute to improving tonsil health by providing healthy eating habits not only for tonsil cancer patients but also for the general public.
Our clinic provides radiofrequency hyperthermia, which generates heat by applying energy directly to cancer cells. This treatment effectively destroys cancer cells by taking advantage of the characteristics that cancer cells are vulnerable to heat. Since cancer cells and normal cells differ in energy metabolism and cell status, high-frequency thermotherapy aims at cancer cells by improving the inheritance and conductivity of cancer tissue.This treatment increases the blood flow of cancer tissue and promotes immune response to cancer, which can be improved in parallel with chemotherapy and radiation therapy. It also helps relieve pain caused by cancer. These features can be of great help to patients with multiple cancer diseases, including tonsil cancer.In addition to tonsil cancer treatment, our clinic provides systematic and comprehensive treatment programs for patients with various cancer diseases. Through this, we strive to provide optimized cancer management and treatment for patients.Considering the health and recovery of patients as a top priority, we are conducting customized treatment tailored to each situation through various treatment options. High-frequency hyperthermia is a combination of these treatments It is an important way to effectively target cancer cells as well as strengthen the immune system of patients.Previous Image Next ImagePrevious Image Next ImagePrevious Image Next ImagePrevious Image Next ImagePrevious Image Next Image
