Objectives

Primary objectives

To establish a disease database of laryngeal cancer patients in order to:

  1. Assess the difference in quality of life, disease specific and overall survival between treatment modalities in early and advanced laryngeal cancer.
  2. Assess the impact of patient-derived clinical features and tumour factors on treatment outcome (oncological, laryngeal function, quality of life, swallow, voice) in early and advanced laryngeal cancer and use this to develop a risk prediction tool.

Secondary objectives

  1. To establish consent processes to allow researchers to re-contact patients for data on long term outcome and survivorship.
  2. Using the data, establish an initial risk communication tool in the disease.
  3. To develop the pathway for routine tissue and radiological scan collection for future studies, mapped to outcome.
