          Abstract

          Long-term laryngectomy-free (LFS), tumour-specific (TSS) and overall survival (OS) is achieved by non-surgical larynx preservation (LP) only in a proportion of patients with locally advanced laryngeal or hypopharyngeal cancer. A score facilitating decision-making after 1 cycle induction chemotherapy (IC-1) may improve LFS and TSS.
