Recently, induction chemotherapy has been used in the selection of patients with advanced resectable carcinoma of the larynx and hypopharynx for organ preservation....

While traditional treatment has focused on surgical resection with or without radiation and chemoradiotherapy, newer combined-modality regimens may offer patients a better prognosis, organ preservation, and less morbi...
