“…Initial tumour staging included clinical examination, computed tomography (CT) and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the head and neck, chest X-ray and CT scan of the thorax (in all except small Stage I tumours 3,4,17 ). For CT of the thorax contiguous, axial planes were used at 10-mm slice thickness.…”

“…Halpern [12] identified 9 positive scans in 24 patients [8 with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC)], all of whom were X-ray-negative. Ong et al [11] found 24 positive scans in 138 patients. Only 9 had positive plain X-rays.…”

Investigation for distant metastases is part of the staging process of a primary tumor or recurrent disease before treatment. The lung is the most frequent site followed by bone and liver. Advanced stage and cervical metastases are the most important predictors of metastases. Almost all distant metastases are associated with lung metastases. Computed tomography scan of the chest is the single most effective investigation. The value of routine screening tests is questionable and merits further investigation.

Klasicni AP i profilni snimci pluca iIi CT grudnog kosa mogu da se koriste radi otkrivanja udaljenih metastaza [41]. Molekularni markeri mogu da budu upotrebljeni za otkrivanje pocetnog karcinoma, da se detektuje minimalan ostatak bolesti iIi predvidi kod pacijenta eventualna rana pojava recidiva.…”

The progress in the elucidation of the molecular genetic changes in these tumors should soon bring novel diagnostic procedures into the clinical practise. The review higlights the important advances of endoscopic, radilogical and molecular methods in detection of the tumor which may help clinicians to diagnose tumors as early as possible. TNM staging, biopsy and histopathological grading remain the gold standard for diagnosis of laryngeal carcinoma. A great number of novel endoscopical methods are only supplementary tools to microlaryngoscopy. Some of the most significant biological markers might be integrated with the evaluation of behavioural factors, clinical and histopathological examinations for a new clinicomolecular approach to laryngeal cancer.
