Laryngeal cancer

Laryngeal cancer may also be called cancer of the larynx or laryngeal carcinoma. Most laryngeal cancers are squamous cell carcinomas, reflecting their origin from the squamous cells which form the majority of the laryngeal epithelium.

Cancer can develop in any part of the larynx, but the cure rate is affected by the location of the tumour in the larynx.Ridge JA, Glisson BS, Lango MN, et al.
