What is the treatment for larynx cancer?

11 doctors weighed in across 3 answers

Larynx, also called: The voice box, comprises true vocal cords (the glottis), a short subglottis before the trachea and a supraglottis up to the epi-glottis and its functional parts. Treat ranges from laryngectomy (surgery), to radiotherapy alone for glottic, or chemoradiotherapy for supraglottic disease. It is highly curable in most stages.

Depends on stage : Very early laryngeal cancers can be treated with surgery or radiation alone. In advanced stages, surgery with radiation after (+/- chemo) or chemo +radiation upfront are options. The treatment choice depends on several factors such as the stage, anatomy, and patient choice. Your doctor can help you navigate through the various options.
