What is Throat Cancer?

Throat cancer refers to the development of cancerous cells in the tissues of the throat, including the pharynx (the hollow tube that runs from behind your nose to the top of your windpipe) and the larynx (the voice box). There are different types of throat cancer, including squamous cell carcinoma, which is the most common type and typically arises in the flat cells lining the throat. Other types of throat cancer include adenocarcinoma, lymphoma, and sarcoma. Treatment for throat cancer typically involves a combination of surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. The specific treatment approach depends on the type and stage of the cancer, as well as the overall health of the individual.

Chemotherapy Procedures and Benefits

Generally, chemotherapy can be given in two conditions:

1.To treat cancer and control it recurrence:
Chemotherapy treats cancer by destroying rapidly growing cells which is a characteristic of cancer cells. Here, chemotherapy aims to cure cancer completely and prevent the recurrence of cancer. In such cases, the administering chemotherapy is referred to as Curative Chemotherapy. Some cancers that are potentially treated and cured by chemotherapy are lymphomas, leukaemias, and testicular cancers.

2.To shrink the tumours and treat them effectively:
In the case of metastatic cancers (cancer that has spread to different parts the body), chemotherapy can no longer help to cure but is used to shrink the tumours. In such cases, the administering chemotherapy is referred to as Palliative Chemotherapy.

And the cost of chemo drugs varies widely from hundreds to lakhs depending on their efficacy. You can discuss with your doctor about the affordable chemo drugs for you

On average, the cost of throat cancer treatment in India ranges between INR 2,40,000 to INR 4,25,000.

The length of time that throat cancer can last, or the prognosis, can vary widely depending on a number of factors, including the stage and type of the cancer, the age and overall health of the patient, and the type of treatment received. In general, early-stage throat cancer that has not spread to other parts of the body has a better prognosis than late-stage cancer that has spread to other organs.

The curability of throat cancer depends on various factors, such as the type and stage of the cancer, as well as the patient’s overall health and response to treatment. However, in general, early-stage throat cancers, such as stage I and II, are more likely to be curable than late-stage cancers. The specific type of throat cancer also plays a role in its curability. For example, early-stage squamous cell carcinoma of the throat, which is the most common type of throat cancer, has a high cure rate of over 90% with appropriate treatment such as surgery or radiation therapy. Other types of throat cancer, such as adenocarcinoma and lymphoma, may have different cure rates and treatment approaches.

You can get relief from throat cancer symptoms and your quality of life improves. The specific experience after throat cancer treatment can vary depending on the type and extent of the treatment, as well as the individual’s overall health and other individual factors.

Usually, throat cancer can be treated in multidisciplinary settings. For throat cancer, an ENT specialist, surgical oncologist, medical oncologist, radiation oncologist, rehabilitation specialist, and other physicians will be involved. Depending on the type and stage of throat cancer, the type of treatment selected, and other comorbidities of a patient, several specialised doctors will be involved.

Every cancer treatment can cause certain side effects. Likewise, throat cancer treatment can cause side effects. The type and severity of the side effects vary depending on the type of treatment and the patient’s overall health. Some common side effects of throat cancer treatment include fatigue, sore throat, nausea and vomiting, skin irritation, changes in taste, dental problems, hair loss, etc. Not all patients will experience all the side effects and many can be managed with medications and other therapies. It’s important to talk with your doctor about the potential side effects of your specific treatment plan. If you face any unusual side effects or if side effects persist or worsen even after taking medication, consult your doctor immediately and get the necessary medical help.

The choice of treatment and its duration depends on the stage of cancer too. Early-stage throat cancer (Stage I & Stage II) can be treated with surgery and combination therapy for a lesser duration, so it will be less expensive whereas advanced-stage throat cancer (Stage III & Stage IV) requires treatment for a longer duration, often with combination therapies, so the cost will be high accordingly. Therefore, the cost varies from person to person depending on the type and stage of throat cancer, the type and duration of treatment, and the patient’s unique needs. Ask your doctor about the approximate final cost of your throat cancer treatment. 

Generally, every cancer treatment involves a multidisciplinary team. It is a panel of cancer experts from various specialisations.
