Overview
Laryngoscopy
For small glottic tumours further imaging may be unnecessary. In most cases, tumour staging is completed by scanning the head and neck region to accurately assess the local extent of the tumour and any pathologically enlarged cervical lymph nodes.
The final management plan will depend on the specific site, stage (tumour size, nodal spread, distant metastasis) and histological type. The overall health and wishes of the patient must also be taken into account.
