Diagnostic Assessment (Imaging) and Staging of Laryngeal Cancer. Otolaryngologic clinics of North America Itamura, K., Hsue, V. B., Barbu, A. M., Chen, M. M. 2023; 56 (2): 215-231

Abstract

Diagnosis of larynx cancer relies on a detailed history and physical and objective assessment with endoscopy and imaging. Endoscopy is needed to assess for vocal fold function that directly affects staging. Computed tomography and MRI can be used to assess for tumor extent in relation to intra- and extra-laryngeal structures, especially paraglottic and pre-epiglottic space involvement as well as cartilage invasion. Accurate staging is critical for subsequent treatment decision-making regarding larynx preservation.
