Abstract:
Laryngeal cancer is one of the most common malignancies in the head and neck. With the development in clinical research of multimodality therapy for recent years, the treatment strategies for laryngeal cancer, especially for advanced cases, have changed significantly. The management for laryngeal cancer needs the adequate assessments of the primary tumor and the general condition of patient, the comprehensive application of multiple treatment modalities including surgery, radiation, chemotherapy and biotherapy, and the design of individualized regimens. The goal is to eradicate the tumor completely with maximal reconstruction and preservation of laryngeal functions, and to improve patient′s quality of life without reduction in survival rate.
