Treatment of Postradiation Laryngeal Compromise

Radiotherapy for locally advanced resectable T3–T4 laryngeal cancer—does laryngeal preservation strategy compromise survival?

With the advancement of chemotherapy, a laryngeal preservation (LP) strategy was explored with the aim of improving maintenance of quality of life. Induction chemotherapy (ICT) following radiotherapy (RT) was considered a viable option because of its high initial response rate without hampering of overall survival (OS). Subsequently, concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) using CDDP became the sta...

Treatment of Laryngeal Cancer

Surgery and radiation therapy are the main treatment modalities for laryngeal cancer, although patients with unfavourable disease may require a combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging is required to stage the cancer and decide on the treatment modality. In order to compare treatment modalities, it is necessary to evaluate treatment end-poi...

Bladder cancer treatment: optimize, don't compromise.

Bladder cancer represents one of the most prevalent genitourinary cancers and one of the most challenging to manage. Comprised of two distinct entities, bladder cancer will either present as a noninvasive, relatively low-risk variant or as a muscle-invasive form that is potentially life-threatening. Treatment for noninvasive disease centers on the elimination of any residual papillary or flat d...
