Modifications in the treatment of advanced laryngeal cancer throughout the last 30 years.

In the last decades, the treatment schemes for patients with locally advanced laryngeal cancer have changed significantly. These changes may have an impact in the survival of these patients. Our objective is to review the treatments administered to patients with locally advanced larynx tumors during a period of 30 years in our institution and to evaluate the prognostic impact of the changes in treatment protocols.

Chronic adherence to heat and moisture exchanger use in laryngectomized patients.
