Outcomes following total Laryngectomy for Squamous Cell Carcinoma at a Singapore Tertiary Referral Centre

چکیده
Squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) of the larynx is the one of the most common cancers of the head and neck region, accounting for 2.4% of new malignancies and 0.7% of all cancer deaths worldwide every year [1]. Hypopharyngeal SCCs, although less common, carry a poor overall prognosis. Worldwide estimation of 5-year overall survival (OS) of laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancers ranges from 32 to 70% and 7 to 35% respectively [2,3].
