Case Summary

  • Laryngeal cancers, predominantly squamous cell carcinoma, are strongly linked to tobacco and alcohol use, typically affecting individuals aged 50-70. The larynx is divided into the glottis (vocal cords), supraglottis (above the cords), and subglottis (below the cords), each further subdivided into specific anatomical sites. Diagnosis begins with indirect laryngoscopy and fiber optic or rigid scope examination for clinical staging.
