Abstract:
For a long time standard treatment approach for resectable squamous cell carcinoma of larynx was surgery with or without subsequent radiotherapy. Surgery, particulary total laryngectomy, has been associated with serious impairment of quallity of life. Between nonsurgical approaches, concurrent cisplatin based chemoradiotherapy has become a very promising treatment modality for larynx preservation. However, concurrent chemotherapy has been associated with serious toxicity. The most recent treatment approach in larynx preservation is related to taxan based induction chemotherapy.

Tracheostomy
A tracheostomy is a surgically created opening (stoma) in the anterior part of the trachea. It is used to establish a patient airway, bypass an upper airway obstruction, simplify the removal of secretions, permit long-term...
