The Treatment of Laryngeal Cancer. Oral Maxillofac Surg Clin North Am. 2019 Feb;31(1):1-11 Authors: Obid R, Redlich M, Tomeh C Abstract Successful management of laryngeal cancer depends on careful pretreatment evaluation of patient and disease factors to arrive at accurate staging, leading to appropriate treatment selection for patients with this highly impacting disease. Surgical modalities, including transoral laser microsurgery, open partial laryngectomy, and total laryngectomy, offer options, alone or in combination with radiation and chemotherapy. Treatment strategy for laryngeal cancer should strive for cure while maintaining the best quality of life possible for the patient. Achieving the goals of initial and salvage treatment for laryngeal cancer depends on executing a plan of care determined by the expertise of the multidisciplinary team.
