<bot>: Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have squamous cell carcinoma of larynx.  It is in early stage. Surgery was really needed to prevent further spread of disease and save your life.  Surgery followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy is the treatment of choice is this case.  Your reports suggest cancer is limited to larynx and it's not spread in adjacent area.  So it's good for you.  Consult your oncologist and take further treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
