The incidence of all head and neck malignancies is rising worldwide, with carcinoma of the larynx constituting approximately 1% of all cancers. Glottic cancer responds quite favorably to intervention due to its early presentation, coupled with the low rate of regional and distant metastases. This chapter discusses risk factors for laryngeal cancer, evidence for diagnostic testing modalities, and current treatment options for early disease.
