Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue on laryngeal tumors, which represent the most common malignancies within head and neck cancers. Over the years, technological advancements have introduced more accurate diagnostic tools, such as high-definition videolaryngoscopes with narrow-band imaging (NBI) filters that allow for earlier diagnosis of these tumors. In the staging process, the increased use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with surface coils has allowed for a more precise diagnostic workup. As a result, treatment choices have become more tailored to the individual patient. Approaches have evolved from total laryngectomy to the concept of modular laryngectomy, with organ function preservation, and in some cases, to transoral laser microsurgery and robotic procedures.
The present Special Issue aims to provide an overview of the latest evidence on the management of laryngeal cancer, focusing on, but not limited, diagnostic tools and emerging perspectives in precision medicine, as well as on therapeutic and rehabilitative strategies that have improved the quality of life of patients, ensuring oncologic outcomes. Both original research articles and review papers are welcome for submission. We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Francesco Mattioli
Guest Editor
