A member asked:
Help! need to know if there's any other reason for a laryngectomy (removal of the larynx, or voice box) besides smoking cigarettes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The most common reason would be laryngeal cancer related to smoking. Other non smoking cancers would be other reasons, but much lower on the list.
