Overview

Common risk factors in the development of laryngeal cancer are smoking tobacco, chewing tobacco, and heavy alcohol consumption.[1]

Risk Factors

Common risk factors for the development of laryngeal cancer include:[1]

Alcohol[2][3][4][5]

Tobacco products[2][5][6][7][8]

Viral infection Multiple types of viral infections have been associated with an increased risk of head and neck cancer, including particularly EBV[9] , HPV, hepatitis C virus (HCV)[10], and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).Herpes[11]

Immunodeficiency Immunodeficiency due to infection with HIV or solid organ transplantation has been associated with an increased risk of cancer in the head and neck region.[12]

Betel nut chewing [13]

Occupational exposure

Mouthwash [18]

Other risk factors — Other factors also may contribute to the development of head and neck cancer in selected patients. These include poor oral hygiene and periodontal disease, which has been linked with carcinoma of the oral cavity [59]. On the other hand, dental prostheses or poorly fitting dentures do not appear to be independent risk factors for the development of oral carcinoma [60-63].

Risk Factors Description

Smoking

  • Mutations may change a normal DNA sequence to an oncogene, which is a gene that causes cancer after exposure to a carcinogen.
  • Squamous cells, a type of cell that lines hollow organs like the throat, mouth, lungs, and outer layer of skin, are particularly vulnerable when exposed to cigarette smoke.

Heavy alcohol consumption

  • Heavy alcohol consumption is linked to laryngeal cancer as well. Alcohol damages the lining of the larynx, increasing the amount of chemicals that are allowed to seep into the underlying membranes. Heavy alcohol use is also associated with nutritional deficiencies.
