Abstract

Carcinogenesis of laryngeal carcinoma is complex and many etiological studies are being carried out to determine the role of genes and viruses in cancer development. However, even when androgen receptors have been found in laryngeal tumor tissue and cases of laryngeal cancer in women, with debut during the first pregnancy and relapse in each of the following pregnancies have been described, as well as some environmental, occupational and dietary factors that play a role in the carcinogenesis of laryngeal carcinoma, the high consumption of tobacco and alcohol are generally considered the main risk factors for laryngeal cancer. A review based on documents published by the National Cancer Control is conducted in order to evaluate the performance of this condition, specifically laryngeal cancer, as well as the factors involved in its onset and prognosis.
