Chemotherapy for Laryngeal Cancer in Kharkiv — Voice-Preserving Treatment
Chemotherapy for laryngeal cancer is a modern approach to tumor treatment, aimed not only at defeating the disease but also at preserving the patient’s ability to speak and swallow normally. At the Brigid Medical Center, we apply strategies that often allow us to avoid complex laryngeal surgery by combining precise drug therapy with advanced supportive care.
Advantages of Laryngeal Cancer Treatment at the Brigid Medical Center
Organ preservation
We use specialized treatment courses that, in many cases, allow patients to avoid removal of the larynx.
Precision treatment
We select medications based on the exact tumor location—on the vocal cords or above them.
Combined modalities
Chemotherapy enhances the effect of radiation therapy, making treatment significantly more effective.
Modern medications
We use the latest targeted and immune-based drugs that act precisely on cancer cells.
Condition monitoring
We regularly perform laryngeal examinations (laryngoscopy) to observe tumor regression in real time.
Functional recovery
We help patients restore their voice and normal swallowing through therapy with specialized professionals.
What types of chemotherapy do we provide?
The treatment strategy depends on the disease stage and your overall condition:
- Concurrent chemoradiotherapy: the primary method for larynx preservation, where medications and radiation act simultaneously.
- Induction (preliminary) chemotherapy: administered initially to assess tumor response and reduce its size.
- Postoperative therapy: helps eliminate residual cancer cells if surgery was ultimately required.
- Targeted therapy: “smart” medications for patients who cannot tolerate standard chemotherapy.
- Immunotherapy: activates the patient’s own immune system to fight the tumor at advanced stages.
When is chemotherapy for laryngeal cancer prescribed?
Main indications for initiating treatment:
- Tumor spread to adjacent tissues (stages III–IV).
- The need to preserve the voice despite a large tumor size.
- Involvement of cervical lymph nodes.
- Postoperative prevention when there is a high risk of recurrence.
- Recurrent disease after prior radiation therapy.
What we consider when choosing a treatment plan:
Our multidisciplinary medical board carefully evaluates the current functional status of the larynx at presentation. We always strive to balance effective tumor control with preservation of the patient’s ability to speak after treatment.
