Synopsis

Over a span of 20 years there has been a rapid expansion in every aspect of our knowledge and methods of treatment of laryngeal cancer. The topics covered in this book include molecular biological research and staging, modified fractionation radiotherapy schedules and organ sparing protocols combining radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Surgeons are favouring sub- and near-total laryngectomies which spare all or at least some laryngeal functions. There is also a large section devoted to neoglottic voice procedure and research is taking place into laryngeal transplantation. This publication reflects the universal commitment and dedication of a great many individuals from many disciplines involved in the management of laryngeal cancer an documents the state-of-the-art as it exists now.
