Understanding the Larynx
The voice box is more than just your voice.
The larynx, or voice box, plays an important role in speaking, breathing and swallowing. Laryngeal cancers can arise in different regions, so accurate assessment of the tumor's location and extent is an important part of treatment planning.
The glottis contains the vocal cords and is the most
common site for laryngeal cancer.
Surgical Treatment
Laryngeal cancer surgery, tailored to the disease.
The appropriate procedure depends on tumor size, location, stage, overall health and the functional goals of treatment.
02
Partial Laryngectomy
Removes the affected portion of the larynx while aiming to preserve useful laryngeal function when appropriate.
Function Preservation03
Supraglottic Laryngectomy
Removes selected disease involving the upper larynx while preserving the vocal cords in suitable cases.
Upper Larynx04
Hemilaryngectomy
Removes one side of the larynx in carefully selected patients while preserving as much functional tissue as possible.
Selected Tumors05
Total Laryngectomy
Removes the entire larynx when required for advanced disease. Breathing then occurs permanently through a tracheostoma.
Advanced Disease06
Personalized Planning
Imaging, examination, tumor characteristics and overall health are considered before selecting the most suitable treatment pathway.
Individualized Care
Understanding Laryngectomy
Preserving function whenever it is medically possible.
Different surgical approaches have different functional consequences. Your treatment plan is based on the disease and what can safely be preserved.
Partial Laryngectomy
Selected tumors may be treated by removing only part of the larynx.
- More laryngeal structures may be preserved.
- Some natural voice function may remain.
- Swallowing rehabilitation may still be required.
- Appropriate only for selected tumor patterns.
Total Laryngectomy
In selected advanced cancers, the entire larynx may need to be removed to achieve appropriate cancer control.
- Permanent breathing through a tracheostoma.
- Natural voice is lost.
- Alternative voice rehabilitation becomes important.
- Long-term adaptation and follow-up are essential.
Airway Adaptation
Understanding the tracheostoma.
Following total laryngectomy, the airway is separated from the mouth and nose and breathing occurs through a permanent opening in the neck called a tracheostoma.
Breathing changes
Patients require education and long-term care for
the stoma and airway.
Airway monitoring
Narrowing around the stoma, known as tracheostomal
stenosis, can occur and requires medical assessment.
Life After Surgery
Rehabilitation is part of the treatment journey.
Recovery can involve speech, swallowing, airway adaptation and emotional support.
Electrolarynx
A handheld electronic device can help produce speech following loss of the natural voice.
Tracheoesophageal Puncture
TEP can provide a pathway for voice rehabilitation using air from the lungs and a voice prosthesis.
Esophageal Speech
Some patients can learn to use swallowed air and controlled release to create substitute speech.
Swallowing Therapy
Speech-language professionals can teach safe swallowing strategies during recovery.
Diet Support
A modified diet or temporary feeding tube may be required while swallowing function improves.
Emotional Support
Counseling, family support and patient communities can help with communication and lifestyle adjustment.
Safety & Recovery
Understanding possible complications.
Every operation has potential risks. The specific risks depend on the procedure, tumor location, previous treatments and individual health.
Airway & Breathing Issues
Total laryngectomy results in permanent breathing through a tracheostoma and requires airway care.
Voice Changes
Partial procedures may result in hoarseness, while total laryngectomy requires alternative communication.
Swallowing Difficulties
Some procedures can temporarily affect swallowing and may require therapy or dietary modification.
Infection & Wound Healing
Major surgery can involve infection or delayed wound healing and requires appropriate monitoring.
Tracheostomal Stenosis
Narrowing around the tracheostoma can interfere with breathing and needs medical assessment.
Modern Treatment
Advanced approaches in laryngeal cancer care.
Depending on the individual cancer, modern treatment can incorporate surgical and non-surgical approaches.
01 / TORS
Transoral Robotic Surgery
Robotic-assisted technology can provide precise access to selected tumors through the mouth.
02 / LASER
Laser Microsurgery
High-powered laser techniques can remove selected tumors while limiting damage to surrounding tissue.
03 / IMMUNO
Immunotherapy
Modern systemic treatments can help the immune system recognize and attack cancer cells in appropriate cases.
04 / TARGETED
Targeted Therapy
Certain medicines are designed to interfere with specific molecular signals involved in cancer growth.
Beyond Surgery
Long-term care focused on quality of life.
Successful cancer care extends beyond the operation itself.
◌
Breathing Adaptation
Patients learn long-term tracheostoma care following total laryngectomy.
⌁
Communication
Voice rehabilitation helps patients explore alternative methods of communication.
♡
Emotional Well-Being
Counseling and support can help patients adjust to communication and lifestyle changes.
↻
Follow-Up
Regular clinical follow-up and appropriate imaging are important after cancer treatment.
Expert Evaluation
Don't ignore persistent voice or throat changes.
Persistent hoarseness, swallowing difficulty, throat symptoms or other concerning changes should be evaluated by an appropriate specialist.
