Abstract

Purpose: To formulate evidence-based guidelines on imaging for cancers of the larynx, from diagnosis and staging to monitoring of disease control after completion of treatment.

Methods And Materials: A multidisciplinary analysis of current guidelines and published studies on the topic was performed.

Results: On the basis of evidence gathered, guidelines were drawn up; optimal suggestions were included for low-resource situations.

Conclusion: These guidelines are intended as an aid to all clinicians dealing with patients of laryngeal cancers. It is hoped that these will be instrumental in facilitating patient care, and in improving outcomes.
