علاج سرطان الحنجرة في المرحلة الثالثة أو الرابعة

• The main options for initial treatment for these cancers are surgery, chemotherapy followed by chemoradiation, or chemotherapy with radiation.
• Radiation therapy alone (or with the targeted drug cetuximab) may be an option for people who cannot tolerate more intensive treatments.
• Immunotherapy might be another option for some people.
• Surgery for these tumors is almost always complete removal of the larynx (total laryngectomy), but a small number of these cancers might be treated by partial laryngectomy.
• If surgery is planned, immunotherapy with a drug called a checkpoint inhibitor might be given both before and after surgery.
• Another option may be to start with just chemotherapy, which is called induction chemotherapy.
• If the tumor shrinks, radiation therapy or chemoradiation is then given.
• If any cancer remains after treatment, surgery can then be done to try to remove it.
