This book provides a comprehensive view of the various aspects of laryngeal cancer, related treatment options and approaches, and the subsequent effects on speech and voice production. In addition, the importance of pre- and post-surgical and long-term counselling is covered as an essential element in the rehabilitative process. The text is organized to follow the progression of laryngeal cancer from onset and diagnosis to long-term therapeutic follow up. An important and unique aspect of this text is directed at understanding specific surgical management methods and their degree of laryngeal ablation. This physiological information is important for clinicians who must work with the reductions and restrictions in the voice/speech mechanism as a result of laryngeal surgery. This book should be of interest to speech-language therapists and otolaryngologists.
