The larynx is also known as the voice box, located between the pharynx and the trachea. Its function is to ensure the airways to open when we breathe and talk and closed when we swallow to ensure no food gets into the trachea.
Laryngeal cancer is a medical condition characterized by irregular cell growth in the tissues of the larynx. The cancer cells may spread to other tissues and organs in the late stage via lymph and blood circulation.
The exact cause of laryngeal cancer is unknown. Researchers do not know why people in the same family with the same health conditions and gender, some are susceptible to the onset of the disease while others do not.
However, they do know that certain risk factors such as smoking, excessive alcohol drinking, unhealthy diet, family history, HPV infection and long-term exposure to some chemicals including wood dust, soot coal dust, and paint fumes can increase the risk of cancer.
Genetic mutation inherited from the parents, such as TP53, GSTM3 and NAT2 and long-term use of some medication, such as immune-suppressive drugs to fight off infections such as HIV or AIDs is considered the prevalent risk factors for the disease development.
The most common symptoms of larynx (Voice Box) cancer include
* Hoarseness or other voice changes
Due to malignant cells have invaded the vocal cords.
* A cough that doesn't go away or stridor
Due to blocking of the airway.
* Breathing difficulties
The tumor has grown large enough to block off the airway.
* Ear pain
The tumor has pressed onto the nerve.
*A lump or mass in the neck or throat
Cancer gas invaded the nearby lymph nodes in the neck and throat.
* Coughing up of blood
Breaking off of some malignant cells.
Cleaver is a herbaceous annual plant, genus Galium, belongings to the family Rubiaceae, native to North America and Eurasia. The herb has been used over thousands of years in herbal and traditional medicine as mild diuretic and blood and lymphatic cleanser and to treat psoriasis, skin conditions, glands, tonsillitis, bladder infections, prevent small kidney stone, etc.
On finding a potential compound for the treatment of cancer, researchers investigated a Galium verum decoction in chemosensitive (Hep-2 and HLaC79) and chemoresistant, P-glycoprotein-overexpressing (Hep2-Tax, HLaC79-Tax) laryngeal carcinoma cell lines.
According to the results from the detailed spheroid-based 3D invasion analysis of Hep2 and Hep2-Tax in semisolid collagen gels and on different extracellular matrix coatings, Galium decoction proved to be even more pronounced in the more aggressively invading chemoresistant Hep2-Tax cell line compared to the administration of Galium aqueous extract.
Furthermore, the application of decoction also inhibited the expression of the enzyme gelatinolytic activity produced by the MMP-2 in three of the four cell lines without affecting the angiogenesis in the tested cell lines.
Interestingly, Galium decoction demonstrated an anti HLaC79 and Hep2, Hep2-Tax and HLaC79-Taxactivity with no influencing unique pathway activation.
Based on the findings, researchers said, " the intake of HCA has preventive effects on bone loss in STZ-diabetic rats, and that the intake has partially restorative effects on serum biochemical findings in the diabetic state".
Taken altogether, herbal cleaver may be considered as an anti resistant laryngeal cancer remedy, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
