Abstract
Objective To investigate the outcome of surgically managed laryngeal carcinoma patients attending an outpatient clinic over a 5-year period.
Material and Methods This was an analytical, retrospective, cross-sectional study. A total of 36 laryngeal carcinoma patients who were managed surgically with or without radiotherapy were analyzed.
Results A total of 32 patients (89%) were found to be disease-free during follow-up for up to 5 years. Two patients (5.5%) died because of intercurrent infection and recurrence of the disease and two (5.5%) were lost to follow-up 5 and 7 months after surgery, respectively.
Conclusions The results indicate that the best disease-free rates can be achieved by managing laryngeal carcinoma surgically with or without radiotherapy depending on the advancement and aggressiveness of the disease.
