Staging of Laryngeal and Hypopharyngeal Cancer: Computed Tomography versus Histopathology

Introduction: Computed tomography (CT) imaging is the choice of investigation for evaluation of extent of tumor under the mucosa, locally and regionally. This study was undertaken to assess the accuracy of preoperative CT imaging in the staging of carcinoma of the larynx and hypopharynx.   Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, all cases who were clinically (c) staged T3–T4 and w...

Imaging in laryngeal cancer: computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography.

Imaging modalities have become increasingly significant in the treatment of laryngeal cancer. The ability of CT and MR imaging to reveal pathologic conditions that are undetectable by palpation or endoscopy has led to the development of several imaging-based systems of anatomic classification and tumor staging. This article provides an up-to-date review of the radiographic evaluation of the nor...

Systematic review of the diagnostic value of magnetic resonance imaging for early glottic carcinoma

Objective In early glottic cancer, accurate assessment of tumor extension, including depth infiltration, is of great importance for both staging, therapeutic approach and systematic comparison of data. Our goal was to assess the diagnostic value of MRI in pre-therapeutic staging of primary early stage (T1 and T2) glottic carcinoma. Study design Systematic review of literature. Methods We co...
