The larynx is made up of the vocal cords and surrounding support structures, it
is essential in producing normal human voice and also helps prevent food and liquid
from entering into the lungs. If polyps (bumps) form on the vocal cords,
or something interferes with the muscles controlling the vocal cords, the voice will be
hoarse in quality. A cancer of the larynx will first effect the voice, and eventually can
block off the windpipe causing suffocation.
It is critical to get proper diagnosis and treatment for a larynx cancer problem; this
can literally make the difference between keeping or losing the ability to speak.
Eventually, it can even make the difference between life and death! Understanding
your options will give you the peace-of-mind knowing that you have done everything
possible to ensure a successful outcome for yourself or a loved one.
