Abstract

Laryngeal carcinoma must be diagnosed expeditiously to maximize curative efforts. Our approach combines useful aspects of the patient's presentation with application of appropriate diagnostic modalities. Newer methods of assessment and follow-up are being scientifically validated and will likely enhance the diagnostic efforts of the head and neck surgical oncologist.
