Extractions: Cancer News and Information Center Health Centers Cancer More News Saving the voice in larynx cancer Saving the voice in larynx cancer Reported by Susan Aldridge, PhD, medical journalist Results of a clinical trial suggest that simultaneous treatment with chemotherapy and radiation preserves the voice of patients with advanced larynx cancer without affecting survival. Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center say that experience with combined treatment has reduced the need for complete removal of the larynx from 100 percent to about 15 percent. Removing the larynx leaves patients unable to speak with their natural voice and reliant upon speaking aids, even though it may cure the cancer. Other previously-studied treatment options included radiation therapy alone or several cycles of chemotherapy followed by radiation. Previous studies showed that the survival rate of patients treated with chemotherapy followed by radiation was just as good as for those receiving surgery. This new study of 547 patients shows that giving chemotherapy and radiation together instead of sequentially is more effective in preserving the voice box. Eighty eight per cent of patients receiving chemotherapy and radiation together still had their voice box after two years compared to 75 percent receiving chemotherapy followed by radiation and 70 percent receiving radiation alone. For each of these three treatment options, overall survival was similar at about 75 percent after two years.

Today, the nationally known historical novelist is fully recovered. He returns to Houston, not for annual checkups at M. D. Anderson, but for book tours. The first tickle in the back of his throat began in 1991. Skimin was told he had a digestive problem. He raised his bed, dined earlier in the evening and took heartburn medicine. The tickle continued. One day he noticed a lump on his neck half the size of a pea. A biopsy indicated cancer for the former U.S. Army major who had retired to El Paso, Texas.
