This National Cancer Institute (NCI) booklet (NIH Publication No. 02-1568) has important information about
cancer* of the larynx. Each year in
the United States, more than 10,000 people learn they have this type of cancer.
This booklet discusses possible causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. It
also has information to help patients cope with cancer of the larynx.
Information specialists at the NCI's Cancer
Information Service at 1-800-4-CANCER can answer questions
about cancer and can send NCI materials. They can also send up-to-date
treatment information from NCI’s PDQ®
database. In addition, many NCI publications and fact sheets are on the
Internet at http://www.cancer.gov/publications.
People in the United States and its territories may use this Web site to order

can mail or fax their requests for NCI publications.
