Nedresvelgkreft (hypofarynkskreft): Symptomer

Innhold i artikkelen

I tidlige faser kan det være få eller ingen symptomer, noe som kan gjøre det vanskelig å oppdage tilstanden tidlig. De første symptomene kan være klumpfornemmelse i halsen og etter hvert vanskeligheter med å svelge. Senere kan man oppleve smerter ved svelging, heshet, tungpusthet, eventuelt smertefri hevelse på halsen fra en forstørret lymfeknute.
