==Biopsy Study==
 
If there is a suspicion of cancer, [[biopsy]] is performed, usually under general anesthetic. This provides definitive [[histological]] proof of cancer type and grade. If the lesion appears to be small and well localised, the surgeon may undertake excision biopsy, where an attempt is made to completely remove the tumour at the time of first biopsy. In this situation, the pathologist will not only be able to confirm the diagnosis, but can also comment on the completeness of excision i.e. whether the tumour has been completely removed. A full endoscopic examination of the larynx, trachea and esophagus is often performed at the time of biopsy.
