Pathophysiology
Laryngeal cancer arises from squamous cells, which are cells that are normally involved in protection of upper respiratory airway. Genes involved in the pathogenesis of laryngeal cancer include p16, NOTCH1, cyclin D1, and TP53.
Occurs predominantly in men older than age 60. Most patients have a history of smoking; those with Supraglottis laryngeal cancer frequently have a history of smoking and a high alcohol intake. Other risk factors include vocal straining, chronic laryngitis, industrial exposure, nutritional deficiency, and family predisposition.
