Abstract:

Laryngeal cancer is one of the most common malignancies of the respiratory system. Early diagnosis of this disease can help to avoid a wide range of surgical procedures, preserve the physiological function of the larynx, and significantly improve the prognosis. This article reviews the various advanced endoscopy techniques used for the early diagnosis of laryngeal cancer in recent years and analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of each technique. With these new endoscopic techniques being widely promoted and optimized, the practice of early diagnosis of laryngeal cancer is expected to increase gradually in the future.

Key words: Laryngeal neoplasms, Endoscopy, Diagnosis
