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).
