Validation of the CTV Margin for Laryngeal and Hypopharyngeal Cancer

Staging of Laryngeal and Hypopharyngeal Cancer: Computed Tomography versus Histopathology

Introduction: Computed tomography (CT) imaging is the choice of investigation for evaluation of extent of tumor under the mucosa, locally and regionally. This study was undertaken to assess the accuracy of preoperative CT imaging in the staging of carcinoma of the larynx and hypopharynx.   Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, all cases who were clinically (c) staged T3–T4 and w...

Carbon Dioxide Laser Microsurgery for Laryngeal and Hypopharyngeal Cancer

Management of Oropharyngeal Dysphagia in Laryngeal and Hypopharyngeal Cancer

On considering a function-preserving treatment for laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer, swallowing is a capital issue. For most of the patients, achieving an effective and safe deglutition will mark the difference between a functional and a dysfunctional outcome. We present an overview of the management of dysphagia in head and neck cancer patients. A brief review on the normal physiology of sw...

Functional organ preservation in laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer

The principles of open versus laser microsurgical approaches for partial resections of the larynx are described, oncologic as well as functional results discussed and corresponding outcomes following primary radiotherapy are opposed. Over the last decade, the endoscopic partial resection of the larynx has developed to an accepted approach in the treatment of early glottic and supraglottic carci...
