| description | Background: Cancer of the larynx is a common cancer of the head and neck. This
cancer has an established correlation with smoking tobacco and alcohol as causative
agents. This study has been conducted in a tertiary hospital in Northeastern India. Minimal
data about laryngeal cancer from this area was published in the literature.
Methods: This prospective study was conducted for a period of two years and
enrolled 30 patients. Patients were diagnosed, staged, and treated for the cancer, then
followed for 12 months.
Results: This study showed that patients in the sixth decade of life were the most
common patients that presented with this cancer. There was a male preponderance.
Smoking and alcoholism were the most common associated risk factors. Most patients
presented with hoarseness followed by a foreign body sensation in the throat. The
majority presented with late stage disease. The most common larynx tumor in this study
was glottic carcinoma. All cases were squamous cell carcinoma and most were
moderately differentiated. Patients underwent treatment with radiation therapy and
chemotherapy.
Conclusion: At the one year follow up, 36.67% of patients were found to be in
remission. A total of two patients succumbed to this disease. |
