Overview

Other diagnostic studies for laryngeal cancer include laryngoscopy, which demonstrates tumor size and location. Small sessile or superficially spreading lesions can be difficult or impossible to diagnose. Fluoro-D-glucose positron emission tomography may be performed to detect metastases of laryngeal cancer.[1]

Other Imaging Findings

Positron Emission Tomography

Fluoro-D-glucose positron emission tomography has an increasing role in diagnosis, staging, and follow-up of head and neck malignancies, allowing identification of metabolically active tumor deposits.[1]

Laryngoscopy

For small glottic tumors further imaging may be unnecessary. In most cases, tumor staging is completed by scanning the head and neck region to accurately assess the local extent of the tumor 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.
