Laryngeal Cancer Treatment: Surgery
Surgical removal of tumors remains one of the most effective modalities for treating certain types of laryngeal cancer. Not only is surgery one of the oldest forms of laryngeal cancer treatment, but surgery can also play an important role in laryngeal cancer staging and diagnosis.
Our surgical oncologists at Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA) may recommend surgery as a laryngeal cancer treatment for you, based on different goals, such as:
- Preventative (or prophylactic) surgery to prevent the spread of laryngeal cancer
- Diagnostic and staging surgery to determine if and where cancer occurs in your body
- Curative surgery for complete tumor removal
- Debulking (or cytoreductive) surgery for partial tumor removal
- Palliative surgery to control laryngeal cancer symptoms or pain
- Supportive surgery to aid in other laryngeal cancer treatments
- Restorative (or reconstructive) surgery to reshape damaged tissue or organs
