Popis: All clinical classifications for laryngeal cancer are compromises based on clinical and imaging evaluations, with no concern for important elements such as phenotype, host-tumor relationship, and any concomitant nonneoplastic disease. The various staging systems are critically examined along with a report on the outcome of an international survey on the applicability of the TNM system in relation to laryngeal neoplasms, promoted by The Laryngeal Cancer Association.
