Early and Decisive Intervention to Protect Your Voice and Breath: Laryngeal Cancer Surgery<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Laryngeal cancer, which manifests with symptoms such as hoarseness, difficulty swallowing, or shortness of breath, is a disease that is almost entirely curable when diagnosed early. Our goal is not only to remove cancerous tissue from your body, but also, in every possible case, to use advanced microsurgical and laser techniques that preserve your voice, swallowing function, and natural airway (organ-sparing). We focus not on the disease, but on your quality of life and your voice.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What is laryngeal (larynx) cancer and what are the treatment approaches?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The larynx, located in the front middle part of our neck, is a vital organ that enables us to breathe, swallow, and speak by housing our vocal cords. Laryngeal cancer occurs when cells in this area multiply uncontrollably, particularly due to long-term smoking (tobacco) and alcohol use. The earliest and most important symptom is a persistent cough lasting longer than 2-3 weeks that does not respond to medication. hoarseness<\/b>. Our surgical approach varies completely depending on the stage of the disease. In very early-stage tumors, the tumor is removed with a laser through the mouth without making any external incision in the neck, and the patient's voice is completely preserved. In intermediate stages, only the diseased part of the larynx is removed (Partial Laryngectomy), and the natural airway is preserved. However, in advanced stages where the entire larynx has been affected, it may be necessary to remove the entire larynx (Total Laryngectomy) and create a stoma (breathing space) in the patient's neck to save their life. Therefore, "early diagnosis" is the single most powerful key to preserving your own voice.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
