Booklet: What You Need to Know about
Laryngeal Cancer |
Introduction
Each year, more than 12,000 people in the United States learn that they
have cancer of the larynx. This
National Cancer Institute (NCI) booklet will give you some important
information about the symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of this type of
cancer. This booklet also has information to help you deal with cancer of
the larynx if it affects you or someone you know.
Words that may be new to readers appear in italics. Definitions
of these words and other terms related to cancer can be found in the Glossary.
For some words, a "sounds-like" spelling is also given.
Other NCI booklets are listed in the Other Booklets
section. Our materials cannot answer every question you may have about
cancer of the larynx. They cannot take the place of talks with doctors,
nurses, and other members of the health care team. We hope our information
will help with those talks.
Researchers continue to look for better ways to diagnose and treat cancer
of the larynx, and our knowledge keeps growing. For up-to-date information
or to order this publication, call the NCI-supported Cancer
Information Service (CIS) toll free at 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237).
