A retrospective study of 5 male patients with advanced laryngeal cancer between August 2019 and October 2022, aged 56-73 years, with an average age of 65 years were reviewed. The disease duration ranged from 3 to 24 months, with an average of 8 months. Tumor classification by location: 2 cases of glottic type, 2 cases of supraglottic type, and 1 case of subglottic type; TNM staging: 3 cases of T N M stage, 1 case of T N M stage, and 1 case of T N M stage; American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging (2017): stage Ⅳ.
