Article Synopsis
- The global incidence of laryngeal cancer (LC) is decreasing, but the 5-year survival rate has recently dropped from 66% to 63%, potentially due to changes in treatment methods.
- This study assessed survival rates based on disease stage and treatments, comparing surgical interventions to organ preservation protocols (OPP) that utilize chemoradiotherapy.
- Findings indicated that advanced LC stages significantly increased mortality risk, and surgical patients had better cause-specific and disease-free survival compared to those receiving OPP, highlighting the importance of surgical treatment for improved outcomes.
