[Treatment options for advanced laryngeal carcinoma].

Laryngeal cancer is one of the most common malignancies in the head and neck. With the development in clinical research of multimodality therapy for recent years, the treatment strategies for laryngeal cancer, especially for advanced cases, have changed significantly. The management for laryngeal cancer needs the adequate assessments of the primary tumor and the general condition of patient, the comprehensive application of multiple treatment modalities including surgery, radiation, chemotherapy and biotherapy, and the design of individualized regimens. The goal is to eradicate the tumor completely with maximal reconstruction and preservation of laryngeal functions, and to improve patient's quality of life without reduction in survival rate.喉癌是头颈部常见的恶性肿瘤。近年来，随着综合治疗临床研究的深入，喉癌的治疗尤其是中晚期喉癌的治疗策略发生了较大改变，需要充分评估患者肿瘤及全身情况后，综合运用手术、放疗、化疗、生物治疗等手段，制定个体化的治疗方案。在彻底切除肿瘤的同时，尽可能重建及保留喉功能，在保证生存率的前提下提高患者的生活质量。.
