Deep Dive Nursing

Laryngeal and Lung Cancers: Nursing Care, Airway Management, and Treatment Insight


Listen Later

In this episode, we take a deep dive into laryngeal and lung cancers, examining their epidemiology, risk factors, and clinical manifestations, with a spotlight on the leading cause—tobacco use. We’ll break down the TNM staging system, diagnostic imaging, and endoscopic procedures like bronchoscopy, thoracoscopy, and thoracentesis. Treatment options—including surgery (laryngectomy, lobectomy), chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy—are discussed with an emphasis on individualized care planning. Special attention is given to nursing priorities, from airway maintenance and sterile tracheostomy care to pain management, rehabilitation, and voice restoration following laryngeal surgery. This episode equips nurses with the knowledge to provide safe, holistic, and patient-centered care throughout the cancer treatment journey.
