Your throat is the tube that goes from your nose to your neck. Most throat cancers start and spread in the flat cells that line the inside of your throat.
Cancer of the throat can also hurt the voice box, which is right below the throat. When you speak, your vocal cords move to make sound. Cartilage moves your voice box.
Cancer of the throat is caused by mistakes in the DNA of the throat’s cells. These changes cause cells to grow out of control and keep living even though they should have died. Cells can grow in your neck and turn into tumors, which can be very painful.
At the moment, no mutation is known to cause throat cancer. But there are things that might make you more likely to get cancer. But if you don’t want to be a victim, you shouldn’t do any of these four things:
Too much smoking: Cigarette smoke not only kills smokers, but it also makes them unable to speak, which makes them die. There is a lot of evidence that smoking causes cancers in the esophagus, throat, mouth, and pharynx. If a person smokes more than 20 cigarettes a day, their risk of getting laryngeal cancer doubles. When people smoke and drink, the risk goes up a lot because these two chemicals react with each other.
A lot of alcohol being drunk: Long-term drinking is linked to many diseases, such as throat and mouth cancers. Many alcoholics are also more likely to get breast or bowel cancer. Since there is a strong link between drinking and getting cancer, it’s hard to ignore the warning signs. Researchers and medical professionals say that you shouldn’t drink more than two drinks per day if you want to lower your risk of getting cancer from drinking.
Eating food that is bad for you: If you don’t eat enough, you’re more likely to get cancer of the hypopharynx. Some studies show that people who eat a lot of junk food are more likely to get cancers of the colon and the respiratory tract. This includes the lips, mouth, tongue, nose, and parts of the throat and windpipe. Women who had gone through menopause were more likely to get lung cancer than women who hadn’t. Women were more likely to get liver and breast cancers than men.
Chemicals that are bad for them: Wood dust, paint fumes, and some chemicals can all raise the risk of laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer in people who work in the metalworking, petroleum, construction, and textile industries. Asbestos, a mineral fiber, was once used as an insulator in a lot of different things. People who have been around asbestos are more likely to get lung cancer and mesothelioma (cancer that starts in the lining of the chest or abdomen). Getting asbestos has been linked to laryngeal cancer in many studies, but not all of them have come to the same conclusion.
