[Advanced therapeutic procedures for head and neck cancer and relation to quality of life]

The advanced therapeutic procedures of the head and neck cancer, which trend the quality of life, were discussed. Among these cancers, those of the maxillary, laryngeal and hypopharyngeal carcinoma were adopted, because more cases suffer from these carcinomas. The laryngectomized person loses his or her voice, because of the deficit of the phoniatric organ, and has many troubles for life. The rehabilitation of speech should be considered important. In order to avoid the troubles for the patient's life, after the primary treatment of the head and neck cancer, it is ideal that the cancer cases can be treated completely with the anti-cancerous chemotherapeutic drugs.
