For small [[glottic]] tumors further imaging may be unnecessary. In most cases, tumor staging is completed by scanning the head and neck region to accurately assess the local extent of the tumor and any pathologically enlarged cervical lymph nodes. The final management plan will depend on the specific site, stage (tumour size, nodal spread, distant metastasis) and histological type.

Overview

Other imaging findings for laryngeal cancer inlcude Fluoro-D-glucose positron emission tomography PET which is taken up more by actively metabolic cells. In case of small glottic tumors further imaging may be unnecessary. Laryngoscopy can be helpful to visualize the tumor.
