Introduction to surgical resection for laryngeal cancer

The treatment for early-stage laryngeal cancer is mainly through surgical resection. For the treatment of middle and late-stage laryngeal cancer, appropriate surgical treatment methods are also carried out with the assistance of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Here we will give a brief introduction to surgery as a treatment method for laryngeal cancer .

The surgical treatment of laryngeal cancer should be based on the principle of completely eradicating the tumor and preserving the laryngeal function as much as possible. However, if the tumor is extensive and not completely removing the larynx is not enough to remove the tumor, complete laryngeal removal should be considered, and voice reconstruction surgery should be performed at the same time or later.

Generally, laryngeal cancer surgery can be divided into three categories: micro-laser laryngeal cancer surgery, partial laryngectomy and total laryngectomy. Micro-laser laryngeal cancer surgery is used for T1 vocal cord cancer lesions; partial laryngectomy is suitable for patients with glottic and supraglottic laryngeal cancer T1, T2 and some T3 lesions; total laryngectomy is suitable for patients with advanced laryngeal cancer. This is a very common treatment for laryngeal cancer.
