1. Neck examination: including inspection and palpation of the laryngeal shape and cervical lymph nodes. For palpation of cervical lymph nodes, the cervical lymph nodes should be examined step by step from top to bottom and from front to back according to the distribution pattern of cervical lymph nodes to find out the location and size of the swollen lymph nodes.

2. Laryngoscopy: Indirect laryngoscopy is a commonly used method in clinical practice. Only when the indirect laryngoscopy is unsatisfactory or it is difficult to obtain pathology, direct laryngoscope and fiberoptic light guide can be used to further understand the situation of tumor invasion in the larynx, and tissue can be taken in time for suspicious diseases and sent for pathological examination.

3. Imaging examination:

(1) X-ray examination: X-ray lateral laryngeal films and anteroposterior laryngeal tomographic films can clarify the general location, size, shape of the lesion and changes in the cartilage, trachea or anterior cervical soft tissue. If necessary, laryngeal angiography can be performed.

(2) CT and MR examinations: They are helpful in determining the extent of tumor growth in the larynx, the extent of external invasion, and the status of cervical lymph node metastasis, which is especially helpful for patients in the advanced stage.

(3) Ultrasonic tomography: A method used to detect enlarged lymph nodes in the neck, determine their location and relationship with surrounding tissues, and conduct follow-up examinations after postoperative radiotherapy. It has the advantages of being non-destructive, convenient, accurate, low-cost, and can be performed repeatedly.
