A frog in your own throat? Learn more about throat cancer

In the United States alone, it is estimated that 3% of adults with malignancies are diagnosed with Stage 4 Throat Cancer. In the general population, men are most likely to be afflicted by this disease than women and have twice the risk of dying from it. Worst still, people who are diagnosed are already on the advanced stages. But with a simple change, this type of cancer can be avoided.

Oropharnygeal cancer is the sudden fast growth of the cells in your larynx. It is divided into four stages and it gets worse as the patient goes up a step. As mentioned before, the most common culprit is tobacco use but alcohol abuse also contributes in increasing the risk of developing the disease. But the causes are multi-factorial like heredity, excessive alcohol consumption, getting afflicted with some type of STD and even hazards at work.

Stage 4 throat cancer survival rate primarily depends on the general condition of the patient, the aggressiveness of the treatment and to a certain degree the will power of the patient. However, it is good to note that the survival rate is relatively high. Early stages of the disease account about 90% while those on advanced stages would get about 30% chance of survival which is generally high compared to other advanced stage of other cancers. But there are factors that will affect this like the overall health of the patient, the skill of the medical team and even the psychological and emotional state of the patient.





While a Stage 4 Throat Cancer prognosis prognosis greatly clings on how well the cancer is staged. The staging of a malignancy is very important because it serves as a guide to treatment and it also shows the progression of the cancer in the body whether it is still confined in the throat or has traveled to other organs. Some tolls used in staging are biopsies, pathology examinations and diagnostic imaging equipment like CT-scan and the MRI. Proper staging is important because this will greatly help the medical team in properly treating the patient. However, it is important to note, that there are cases the patient may not reach the 5-year survival rate due to problem of recurrence. Total remission can only be issued if the patient will go beyond that 5 years without the tumor reappearing.

In a nutshell, this type of cancer is very preventable since most of the causative factors are primarily from a person’s lifestyle. So, in this case and in any other kind of disease condition, prevention is better than cure. Other important measures are good exercise regimen and maintaining a good diet plan. But most importantly is having regular visits with your doctors even if you don’t have any bad symptoms because early detection vastly increases the recovery rate.

Having such an advanced form of cancer is very scary to anyone but with proper staging and treatment, an aggressive support system and the will to never give up, you can beat the crap of throat cancer into a bloody pulp.

  1. My name is hoover, my 18 year old daughter, Tricia was diagnosed with herpes 3 years ago. Since then, we have moved from one hospital to another. We tried all kinds of pills, but every effort to get rid of the virus was futile. The bubbles continued to reappear after a few months. My daughter was using 200mg acyclovir pills. 2 tablets every 6 hours and 15g of fusitin cream. and H5 POT. Permanganate with water to be applied twice a day, but all still do not show results. So, I was on the internet a few months ago, to look for other ways to save my only son. Only then did I come across a comment about the herbal treatment of Dr Imoloa and decided to give it a try.
