survival rate than males. There has been<br />
very little improvement in five-year survival<br />
from this <strong>cancer</strong>, or other head and<br />
neck <strong>cancer</strong>s, over the last four decades<br />
[18]. Early-stage head and neck <strong>cancer</strong>s<br />
have a good cure rate, but over 60% of<br />
patients present with advanced disease.<br />
Moreover, a significant percentage of<br />
patients with squamous cell carcinoma go<br />

although initially cured. Patients may also<br />
face serious reductions in quality of life<br />
after definitive surgical therapy; despite<br />
improving rehabilitation and reconstructive<br />
surgery, residual cosmetic and functional<br />
debilities may be significant.<br />
The overall relative survival of laryngeal<br />

70% in Europe and North America, but is<br />
lower in developing countries. It is highly<br />
dependent on the sub-site of the disease<br />
which itself is dependent on the etiological<br />
factors involved. In countries with elevated<br />
alcohol consumption the prognosis<br />
is poorer because there are more tumours<br />
of the upper part of the larynx, which have<br />
a lower survival.<br />
