Laryngeal Cancer

Cancer that develops in the Larynx is known as Laryngeal Cancer and occurs when cells in the area begin to grow abnormally. The larynx or “voice box” as it is commonly referred to is located near the front of the neck and is made up of three parts. An upper section known as the supraglottis, the glottis located in the middle and the subglottis which is the lower portion of the larynx and connects it to the trachea. Though cancer in this area is not as common as other types, when it does occur it most commonly presents itself in the glottis.
