Squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx in children is managed by surgery and radiation therapy, as in adults with carcinoma at this site.[4,5] Laser surgery may be the initial treatment used for these lesions. Outcomes of pediatric patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx are similar to those reported for adult patients.[4] For more information about the treatment of laryngeal cancer in adults, see Laryngeal Cancer Treatment.
