Cancer of the larynx is usually diagnosed with exam and biopsy, the most common cause being tobacco use. Laryngeal cancer is usually of the squamous cell type with varying locations. Treatment and surgical options are dependent on the site and size of the tumor. Initial symptoms of this type of cancer are many times a hoarse/gravely voice. If a person is hoarse for more than one month, medical attention is recommended. This is especially true for smokers.
