Chemotherapy of Laryngeal Tumors

Chemotherapy for laryngeal tumors involves using medication to target and kill cancer cells in the larynx, or voice box. It may be used as the main treatment, often alongside radiation, especially for larger tumors or those that have spread. Chemotherapy can help shrink tumors before surgery or eliminate any remaining cancer after. The treatment may cause side effects, like nausea and fatigue, as it can also affect healthy cells. It’s a vital option in managing laryngeal cancer, aiming to improve survival rates and quality of life for patients.
