Cancer of the larynx
intervention
Radiation therapy :Radiation oncologists deliver high-energy radiation beams to kill cancer cells. The radiation targets only the tumor to minimize damage to the surrounding healthy tissue.
Chemo therapy: Medical oncologists use medications to kill or slow the growth of cancer cells. People often get chemotherapy intravenously (through a vein). Chemo can cause side effects during treatment.
This treatment uses your immune system, your body’s natural defenses, to help fight cancer. Immunotherapy is also called biologic therapy.
Surgical therapy: For early laryngeal cancer, surgery can remove the tumor while preserving the larynx (and the ability to speak and swallow). For advanced cancer, surgeons often need to do a laryngectomy, removing the entire larynx.
