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 />
