The feasibility of surgery depends on the stage of laryngeal cancer at the time of diagnosis. The goal of treatment is to completely remove the tumor, achieve tumor free margins and prevent the spread. The options of surgery can be transoral laser surgery, transoral robotic surgery, total laryngectomy, and total laryngectomy with partial pharyngectomy
The goal of treatment is to completely remove the tumor, achieve tumor free margins and prevent the spread. The following options of surgery can be considered on a case by case basis:
