Which sign or symptom would the patient be instructed to report to the health care provider (HCP) as a possible warning sign of laryngeal cancer?
A. Increased fatigue
B. Continued sinus drainage
C. Hoarseness for longer than 3 weeks
D. Low-grade fever for more than 2 weeks
Answer (1)
The patient should report hoarseness for longer than 3 weeks as it is a significant warning sign of laryngeal cancer. Other symptoms like fatigue and sinus drainage are less specific and not directly related to cancer. Recognizing this symptom early can be critical for timely diagnosis and treatment. ;
