Y1 - 2018 N1 - T2 - Textbook of Complex General Surgical Oncology AB - The larynx is eloquent, and even a tiny tumor can produce dramatic vocal changes that frequently allow for very early detection of disease. The American Cancer Society estimated that in 2013, there would be 12,260 laryngeal cancers and 3630 laryngeal cancer deaths. This progress that has been made for laryngeal cancer therapy has been one of the real success stories in head and neck cancer.1 Improved cure rates have allowed us to better tailor the treatment to the patient and, in doing so, to improve quality of life.
