Overview

The feasibility of surgery depends on the stage of laryngeal cancer at the time of diagnosis.^[1]

The goal of treatment is to completely remove the cancer, achieve tumor free margins and prevent the spread. The following options of surgery can be considered ob a case by case basis:

Transoral laser surgery^[2]^[3] Transoral robotic surgery^[4]^[5]

When the tumor is small, either surgery or radiation therapy alone can be used to remove the tumor.
Few patients may also need swallowing therapy after treatment to help them adjust to the changes in the structure of the throat. Surgery is a common treatment for all stages of laryngeal cancer. The following surgical procedures may be used:
