Current Laryngeal Cancer News Events, Discoveries and Articles
Genes signal late-stage laryngeal cancer, poorer outcome
Researchers at Henry Ford Hospital have identified tumor-suppressing genes that may provide a more accurate diagnosis of disease stage and survival for laryngeal cancer patients than current standards. (2009-10-08)
U-M study finds voice box can be preserved, even with the largest cancers
Some patients with large tumors on their larynx can preserve their speech by opting for chemotherapy and radiation over surgery to remove the voice box. (2009-06-26)
Study examines factors associated with survival in advanced laryngeal cancer
Type of treatment, sex, race and insurance status are associated with survival rates among patients with advanced laryngeal cancer, according to a report in the December issue of Archives of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. (2007-12-18)
Cost-benefit analysis: Combo treatment costs more, saves money later
From a health insurer's perspective, the most effective cancer treatment may also be the most cost-effective. (2006-11-08)
Treatment method improves survival for advanced laryngeal cancer, U-M study finds
Chemotherapy and radiation can be effective at treating cancer of the larynx, or voice box, without removing the organ that controls speech and swallowing. But it doesn't work for everyone. (2006-02-01)
K.U.Leuven Scientist Develops New Surgical Technique For Laryngeal Tumours
Professor Pierre Delaere (Otorhinolaryngology section, K.U.Leuven) has in the past decade developed a new surgical technique for larynx reconstruction. In an increasing number of cases, this innovative technique can save the larynx in patients suffering from vocal cord cancer. Patients are able to breathe, swallow and speak normally following the operation, something that was previously impossible since the entire larynx frequently needed to be removed, even if only one vocal cord was affected. The larynx separates the digestive system and the respiratory system. If the larynx is removed then the separation must be effected in some other way. Persons without a larynx can still eat if the oes (2004-07-28)
Accelerated Radiotherapy More Effective For Treating Head And Neck Cancer (p 933)
Danish research published in this week's issue of THE LANCET provides strong evidence that the shortening of radiotherapy treatment time has definitive benefits for people being treated for head and neck cancer. There is debate among oncologists about the optimum treatment time for patients given radiotherapy for head and neck cancer. Jens Overgaard from Aarhus University Hospital, Denmark, and colleagues investigated whether the shortening of treatment time by use of six instead of five radiotherapy fractions per week improved patients' tumour response. In a randomised controlled trial between 1992 and 1997, around 1400 patients with head and neck cancer were allocated to receive either fi (2003-09-17)
Faster radiotherapy more effective in head and neck cancer, trial shows
The world's largest trial in accelerated radiotherapy for head and neck cancer - the DAHANCA trial - proves conclusively that increasing the number of treatments per week from five to six can benefit patients. (2003-09-15)
