<unk>  carcinoma was first discovered by Dr. Morgagni, a Byzantine physician. Theodore Bilroth reported a century ago, the first few examples of primary malignant tumors. The surgery for<unk>  started in the 19th century and kept advancing through the 20th century.<unk>  carcinoma may be classified into more than 14 subtypes based on the anatomical and histological characteristics of the tumor. Anatomical classification includes supraglottic, glottic and subglottic<unk> . There are no established causes for<unk> . However, chromium or nickel, asbestos, alcohol and smoking have been associated with<unk> . The prevalence of<unk>  is approximately 19.5 per 100,000 individuals in the United States. The incidence of<unk>  is approximately 3.3 per 100,000 individuals in the United States. According to the American Cancer Society, screening for<unk>  is not recommended. If left untreated,<unk>  produces few symptoms early in the course. Once the tumor has expanded from its site of origin, it may obstruct the airway. The hallmark of<unk>  is hoarseness. A positive history of neck lump and hoarseness is suggestive of<unk> . Based on the location of the tumor, symptoms may differ but commonly includes hoarseness or other voice changes, lump in the neck, sore throat, and persistent cough. The medical therapy combined with radiation has largely replaced the surgical cure for<unk> . However, the treatment truly depends on the stage at the time of diagnosis. Multiple factors will be taken into account when considering treatment like<unk>  preservation, maintaining the airway, swallowing and speech. Induction includes three cycles of continuous infusion of cisplatin (100 mg/m2 on day 1) plus fluorouracil (1000 mg/m2/day )  followed by definitive radiation therapy in the induction phase and concurrent cinsists of Cisplatin (100 mg/m2 on days 1, 22, and 43) with radiation therapy. The feasibility of surgery depends on the stage of<unk>  at the time of diagnosis. The goal of treatment is to completely remove the tumor, achieve tumor free margins and prevent the spread. The options of surgery can be transoral laser surgery, transoral robotic surgery, total laryngectomy, and total laryngectomy with partial pharyngectomy
