Abstract
The evolution of treatment of laryngeal cancer has passed a number of milestones. The maintenance of useful communication is of paramount importance in all cases and, with the newer modalities of tracheoesophageal phonation and voice prostheses, the quality of life after laryngectomy is clearly improved. Future advances may restore continuity of the upper respiratory tract with resumption of normal nasal function, humidification of the lower respiratory tract, and elimination of the permanent tracheostoma.
