What Is Trachea Cancer?

Trachea cancer comes from the windpipe, in an area that is made up of tough tissue. If you feel for the harder part of tissue under your neck, that’s the point trachea cancer originates.

Getting cancer in the windpipe is every rare and only account for roughly 0.1% of all cancers (this is 1  in 1000 diagnoses) every year.

Because it is so rare, the causes for trachea cancer are very hard to find. Smoking is commonly linked due to the fact that those who get it are normally regular smokers aged 40-60, although no definite cause has been found yet.

Symptoms for someone having trachea cancer include; breathlessness, a gradually hoarser voice, a dry cough, problems swallowing, regular chest infection, coughing blood or wheezing when breathing.

Private treatments for trachea cancer are available at the LOC.

Our team of specialist consultants can treat any patient with trachea cancer and provide them with the best care possible.
