Carcinoma of the larynx and hypopharynx / editors: Sudhir Bahadur, Alok Thakar and Bidhu K. Mohanti.
Carcinomas of the larynx and hypopharynx present unique challenges when it comes to their assessment and management. Management involves the essential dilemma of optimizing cure rates while also ensuring that potential disability due to compromised airway, voice and swallowing is minimized. Treatmen...
