Concurrent chemotherapy and radiation helps patients with laryngeal cancer avoid laryngectomy, according to a presentation on Oct. 7 at the American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology Annual Meeting held in New Orleans, Louisiana.
“Our findings demonstrate that concurrent chemotherapy and radiation treatment is superior to chemotherapy followed by radiation and radiation alone when attempting to preserve a patient’s larynx,” lead author Moshe H. Maor, MD, FACR, from the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, says in a news release. “We can now offer patients an excellent therapy that can spare them the lifelong effects of a total laryngectomy.”
