  https://www.rogelcancercenter.org/head-and-neck-cancer/voicebox/what-patients-should-know

  Cancers arising in the larynx (voice box) are devastating malignancies that account for roughly 200,000 deaths annually worldwide. […] In the United States, it is estimated that over 12,000 new cases are diagnosed each year and that this incidence is increasing during a time that many other cancers are decreasing. […] Tobacco use is known to be the major predisposing factor for laryngeal cancer. […] Common symptoms are hoarseness, painful swallowing, earache or development of a mass in the neck. […] When diagnosed early, these cancers are readily curable. […] Modern treatment approaches have become increasingly complex, as sophisticated methods have been developed to try and preserve vocal function. […] Because of this, a variety of treatment options are available and selecting the optimal treatment has become a complex and often confusing process for patients.

  Laryngeal cancers are malignant (cancerous) growths found in the larynx (voice box). Because of their location, they are highly treatable if caught early, with a cure rate of around 90 percent. […] Treatment options for oral cancer depend on: […] Early-stage laryngeal cancers are usually treated with radiation, surgery, or a combination of the two. We also offer non-invasive, bloodless laser surgery for smaller tumors, leaving the option of full surgery available later, if needed […] Advanced cancers are treated similarly, with the possibility of chemotherapy, either combined with radiation or with radiation and surgery. Receiving chemotherapy and radiation together can help patients avoid the removal of the voice box (laryngectomy) […] While we try to avoid it, sometimes the best treatment is removing your voice box (a laryngectomy). If that happens, we offer the latest tools to restore your voice, as well as speech therapy. […] Patients who have had laryngeal cancer are at risk of developing a second head or neck cancer, and our doctors also want to catch any original cancer that might return (recur). After treatment, they will ask you to come in for regular checkups, as frequently as once a month for the first year.

• #4 What Every Patient Should Know About Laryngeal Cancer | Larynx Cancer | Voice Box Cancer | University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center

  https://www.rogelcancercenter.org/head-and-neck-cancer/voicebox/what-patients-should-know

  The larynx is important in communication. […] The upper part is called the supraglottic larynx and consists of the epiglottis; false vocal cords and supporting muscles within the framework of the cartilaginous „box” called the thyroid cartilage. […] When cancers grow here, they interfere with swallowing and cause pain in the ear, but only affect the voice in a minor way, leading to „thick” speech, „hot potato” voice or change in timbre. […] The lower part of the voice box contains the true vocal cords and extends down to the top of the windpipe, the cricoid cartilage. […] Cancer in this region, termed the glottis, causes significant hoarseness as the primary symptom. […] Many factors enter into decision-making when it comes to the treatment or laryngeal cancer. […] A skilled practitioner experienced in the diagnosis and staging of these cancers can only provide such advice.

  Cancer of the larynx accounts for approximately half of all head and neck cancers. Almost all malignant tumors of the larynx arise from the surface epithelium and are classified as squamous cell carcinoma. […] Risk factors include male gender, age 60 to 70 years, tobacco use (including smokeless), alcohol use, vocal straining, chronic laryngitis, occupational exposure to carcinogens, nutritional deficiencies (riboflavin), and family predisposition. […] Clinical manifestations include hoarseness, noted early with cancer in the glottic area; harsh, raspy, low-pitched voice. Persistent cough; pain and burning in the throat when drinking hot liquids and citrus juices. Lump felt in the neck. Late symptoms: dysphagia, dyspnea, unilateral nasal obstruction or discharge, persistent hoarseness or ulceration, and foul breath. Enlarged cervical nodes, weight loss, general debility, and pain radiating to the ear may occur with metastasis.

  Larynx cancer, also called laryngeal cancer, occurs when malignant cells form in the tissues of the larynx. Many cancers of the larynx, which is part of the respiratory tract, begin in the vocal cords. […] Our goal is to eliminate the cancer while preserving speech and swallowing functions as much as possible. […] These include head and neck surgeons, otolaryngologists, medical oncologists, reconstructive surgeons and radiation oncologists, as well as experts in speech-language pathology, nutrition and psycho-oncology, which focuses on psychological factors affecting cancer patients. […] The symptoms of cancer of the larynx depend mainly on the size and location of the tumor. […] Most cancers of the larynx begin on the vocal cords. These tumors are seldom painful, but they almost always cause hoarseness or other changes in the voice.

  Hoarseness is common early in glottic cancers but is a late symptom for supraglottic and subglottic cancers. […] All patients who have hoarseness for 2 to 3 weeks should have their larynx examined by a head and neck specialist. […] Treat early-stage (T1 and T2) supraglottic, glottic, and subglottic cancer with surgery or radiation therapy. […] Treat moderately advanced (T3) supraglottic, glottic, and subglottic cancer with radiation therapy and sometimes chemotherapy. […] Treat most advanced (T4) supraglottic, glottic, and subglottic cancer that extends outside of the larynx with surgery and then postoperative chemotherapy and radiation therapy. […] Some minimally invasive T4 cancers can be considered for primary treatment with chemotherapy and radiation.

  A cough that doesn’t go away or the feeling of a lump in the throat may also be warning signs of cancer of the larynx. As the tumor grows, it may cause pain, weight loss, bad breath, and choking on food. In some cases, a tumor in the larynx can make it hard to swallow. […] If abnormal areas are found, you will need a biopsy. A biopsy is the only sure way to know if cancer is present. […] Cancer of the larynx is usually treated with surgery or radiation therapy, also called radiotherapy. Some patients may receive chemotherapy at the time of radiation therapy. […] Radiation therapy uses high-energy rays to damage cancer cells and stop them from growing. […] Surgery may be recommended as primary treatment for some tumors, thus avoiding radiation. […] A partial laryngectomy preserves the voice. […] In a total laryngectomy, the whole voice box is removed and the stoma or opening is permanent. The patient breathes through the stoma and must learn to talk in a new way. […] Chemotherapy is the use of drugs to kill cancer cells. Your doctor may suggest one drug or a combination of drugs.

[…] As you heal, the SLP will work with you to find a new way to produce voice. […] Your SLP will fit the valve, called a prosthesis, and will show you how to use and care for it.

Location of the primary tumor (ie, glottic, supraglottic or subglottic) is also an important consideration when selecting therapy. […] Early stage laryngeal carcinomas (stage I-II) are ideally treated with either radiation or surgical techniques (either endoscopic or open) that preserve laryngeal function.

  Laryngeal cancer affects your voice box. It can start in the upper part (supraglottic cancer), the middle part where your vocal cords are (glottic cancer) or in the lower part (subglottic cancer). […] A common first sign of laryngeal cancer is hoarseness that doesn’t get better. […] Healthcare providers use different therapies to treat throat cancer. If you smoke or use tobacco, they may recommend you stop before starting cancer treatment. This improves treatment effectiveness and reduces the risk of side effects. […] The goal of surgery is to remove as much cancer as possible while preserving your ability to breathe, speak and swallow. […] Your healthcare provider may recommend less common treatments for throat cancer, like targeted therapy or immunotherapy. Targeted therapy blocks proteins cancer cells use to grow. Immunotherapy helps activate your immune system to fight cancer. […] If you’ve been treated for throat cancer, you may need help managing the long-term effects. Both radiation therapy and surgery can affect your ability to swallow, speak or hear. Rehabilitation with a speech-language pathologist may be essential to your recovery.
