To bring awareness of therapy options for various stages of laryngeal cancer in this era of multidisciplinary disease management. To highlight the critical imaging information that can impact choice of therapy. To review the role of various imaging methods to provide this information, describe pitfalls and suggest an imaging algorithm to maximize information from imaging.

Treatment goals in laryngeal cancers, conclusions of the major Phase III trials in laryngeal cancers & outline of stage based therapy in laryngeal cancers Imaging features of laryngeal cancers in various stages and the “key” features that can alter therapy plan. Review of literature to assess accuracy of imaging to predict the “key” features as well as to predict prognosis following definitive radiotherapy & chemo-radiotherapy Pitfalls in staging & a suggested imaging algorithm for clinical practice.
