Laryngeal and pharyngeal cancers are by
far the most frequent occuring cancers in the
upper airway and digestive tract. Reported
incidences in Europe vary between 11.4 per
100.000 inhabitants (Spain, Italy) and less than
half that number in Denmark and the
Netherlands. Between 5 to 20% of these
cancers will require treatment with total
laryngectomy, depending upon etiological
background (e.g. smoking and drinking) and
treatment protocols (e.g. radiotherapy vs
surgery).
