This type of cancer is most often associated with risk factors like tobacco use, heavy alcohol consumption and certain viral infections such as HPV.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Treatment<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Because the larynx is essential for daily functions like talking and eating, treatment requires a thoughtful and precise approach. Depending on the stage and location of the cancer, care may include surgery to remove tumors, radiation therapy to target cancer cells, chemotherapy to attack cancer throughout the body, and\/or immunotherapy to help the immune system recognize and fight the disease.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Surgical Treatment Options<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Surgery may involve removing the tumor and nearby cancerous tissue, including affected lymph nodes. A laryngectomy removes the voice box, which can affect speech, while a neck dissection targets cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Radiation Therapy Treatment Options<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>External radiation delivers high-energy beams to the tumor from outside the body, while internal radiation places the source close to the cancer. Advanced techniques like IMRT and VMAT precisely target cancer cells while protecting healthy tissues.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chemotherapy Treatment Options<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Chemotherapy uses powerful drugs to kill cancer cells and can be given before or after surgery. It may be administered as pills, injections or through a catheter into the bloodstream.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Immunotherapy Options<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Immunotherapy boosts your body\u2019s natural defenses to help recognize and attack cancer cells.

It\u2019s typically the most effective way to eliminate cancerous tissue.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Radiation Therapy Options<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Radiation therapy uses high-energy rays to destroy cancer cells. It can be used alone or alongside surgery or chemotherapy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chemotherapy Options<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancer cells and is often combined with surgery or radiation. It can help treat cancer locally and throughout the body.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Targeted Therapy Options<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Targeted therapy uses medications that attack specific molecules found in cancer cells. It is most often used together with other treatments.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Immunotherapy Options<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Immunotherapy helps your immune system recognize and fight cancer cells. It is typically used for advanced or treatment-resistant cases.<\/p>\n<p>Treatment includes targeted therapies like bortezomib and lenalidomide, immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies such as daratumumab, chemotherapy, steroids to reduce inflammation, stem cell transplants and bone health support with bisphosphonates.<\/p>\n                                <\/div>\n                                <script>\n                                    jQuery(document).ready(function($) {\n                                        $('.openFaq').beefup({\n                                            onOpen: function($el) {\n                                                var $btn = $el.find('.openTitle[aria-controls]');\n                                                var $panel = $('#' + $btn.attr('aria-controls'));\n                                                $btn.attr('aria-expanded', 'true')\n                                                    .attr('title', function(_, t) {\n                                                        return t.replace(\/^Show\/i, 'Hide');\n                                                    });\n                                                if ($panel.length) $panel.prop('hidden', false);\n                                            },\n                                            onClose: function($el) {\n                                                var $btn = $el.find('.openTitle[aria-controls]');\n                                                var $panel = $('#' + $btn.attr('aria-controls'));\n                                                $btn.attr('aria-expanded', 'false')\n                                                    .attr('title', function(_, t) {\n                                                        return t.replace(\/^Hide\/i, 'Show');\n                                                    });\n                                                if ($panel.length) $panel.prop('hidden', true);\n                                            }\n                                        });\n\n                                        $('.openFaq').each(function() {\n                                            var $el = $(this);\n                                            var $btn = $el.find('.openTitle[aria-controls]');\n                                            var $panel = $('#' + $btn.attr('aria-controls'));\n                                            var isOpen = $el.hasClass('is-open') || ($panel.is(':visible') && !$panel.prop('hidden'));\n                                            $btn.attr('aria-expanded', isOpen ?
