Aggressive Treatment Favored for Advanced Laryngeal Cancer
quote:
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) Jan 03 - Compared with combined chemo/radiotherapy, total laryngectomy improves survival in patients with stage IV laryngeal cancer, according to a report in the Archives of Otolaryngology--Head and Neck Surgery for December.

........ the finding that total laryngectomy provides better survival than radiotherapy alone is consistent with previous research. By contrast, the finding in the overall analysis that total laryngectomy also achieves higher survival rates than chemo/radiotherapy runs counter to prior reports, which have generally shown equivalent results.
