ABSTRACT
The treatment of advanced laryngeal cancer constitutes a constant challenge to surgeons. Although various therapeutic modalities have been employed in the past century, the cure rate remains unsatisfactory. Current opinions in the therapeutics of this disease pay more attention to the preservation of larynx function and the improvement of quality of life. It is practical to improve the survival rate and quality of life by upgrading the conservative surgical techniques and radiotherapy tactics, neo-adjuvant therapies, and especially the combined treatment using concurrent chemoradiotherapy.
