Transoral Robotic Surgery or Standard Surgery in Treating Patients With Benign or Malignant Tumors of the Larynx and Pharynx

Completed · Phase 1

Conditions studied: Head and Neck Cancer, Perioperative/Postoperative Complications, Precancerous Condition

In brief

RATIONALE: Transoral robotic surgery may make it easier to find and remove benign or malignant tumors of the larynx and pharynx and cause less damage to normal tissue. It is not yet known whether transoral robotic surgery is more effective than standard surgery in diagnosing and treating larynx and pharynx tumors. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying how well transoral robotic surgery works compared with standard surgery in treating patients with benign or malignant tumors of the larynx or pharynx.
