Combined induction chemotherapy and external beam radiation therapy is an effective treatment for selected patients with advanced-stage laryngeal cancer. The larynx can be preserved in two-thirds of patients receiving this treatment. Investigations continue to evaluate the ideal treatment regimen, the delivery of chemotherapy, patient selection, biologic markers predicting response, functional outcome, and the effectiveness of this treatment at other sites.
