  • Larynx preservation is the standard treatment for advanced laryngeal/hypopharyngeal tumors, but not all patients respond well; the TALK score model assesses various patient factors to identify suitable candidates for this treatment.
  • A study evaluated 175 patients who underwent treatment from 2008 to 2015, revealing high rates of smoking and alcohol use among participants, and a distribution of tumors between the larynx and hypopharynx.
