Optimal radiological visualisation of laryngeal carcinoma demands for a tailored imaging technique. The technique for computed tomography of the larynx is reviewed, and imaging findings in laryngeal carcinoma are described. The application of CT-findings for selection of patients into the favourable group for radiation therapy is discussed. The use of CT in the follow-up of irradiated laryngeal carcinoma is reviewed.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are crucial regulatory molecules that participate in numerous cellular development processes, and they have gathered much interest recently. HOXA10 antisense RNA (HOXA10-AS, also known as HOXA-AS4) is a novel lncRNA that was identified to be dysregulated in some prevalent malignancies. In this review, the clinical significance of HOXA10-AS for the prognosis of various cancers is analyzed.

Objectives: To explore the synthesis of high-quality CT (sCT) from cone-beam CT (CBCT) using PE-CycleGAN for adaptive radiotherapy (ART) for nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
Methods: A perception-enhanced CycleGAN model "PE-CycleGAN" was proposed, introducing dual-contrast discriminator loss, multi-perceptual generator loss, and improved U-Net structure. CBCT and CT data from 80 nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients were used as the training set, with 7 cases as the test set.
Laryngocutaneous fistula is one of the most important complications encountered after larynx surgery. Stem cell therapy is a promising treatment approach for the future, both without the need for surgical methods and by assisting surgical methods to close the fistula. 30 female Downey Sprague rats were divided into 5 separate groups and pharyngocutaneous fistula was created.

Background: Despite advancements in medical science, the 5-year survival rate for laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma remains low, posing significant challenges in clinical management. This study explores the evolution of key topics and trends in laryngeal cancer research. Bibliometric and knowledge graph analysis are utilized to assess contributions in treating this carcinoma and to forecast emerging research hotspots that may enhance future clinical outcomes.
