Overview

Secondary prevention measures of laryngeal cancer include routine physical examination and imaging at scheduled intervals after treatment. Dental screening and screening for thyroid cancers are recommended among patients who had received radiation therapy to the oral cavity and cervical region, respectively.^[1]

Secondary Prevention

Follow up after treatment

Patients treated for laryngeal carcinoma should follow-up for secondary prevention. Follow-up measures are shown in the table below:^[1]


Follow up	Description

Physical exam	Every 1-3 months during the 1st year after treatment Every 2-6 months during the 2nd year after treatment Every 4-8 months between the 3rd and 5th years after treatment Annually thereafter
Nasendoscopy	Immediately following radiation therapy
CT Scan/MRI	Imaging studies are performed at routine intervals as follows: Baseline scanning is performed at 3-6 months after treatment, further scans are scheduled based on finding of physical exam and symptoms experienced by the patient Scanning for asymptomatic patients is not recommended
Thyroid hormone testing	Thyroid stimulating hormone testing every 12 months if the neck was exposed to radiation
Dental screening	Only recommended if oral cavity was exposed to radiation
