A client who has been diagnosed with an early glottis cancer would most likely undergo which type of surgery?


a) Laser microsurgery
b) Partial laryngectomy
c) Total laryngectomy
d) Vocal cord stripping


Answer: a) Laser microsurgery



Explanation:
In early glottis cancer, early stage lesions are treated and removed with a laser process. This would be the surgical treatment for early stage vocal cord lesions. This surgery is done to treat early-stage laryngeal cancer when only one cord is involved. This surgery is done when the cancer extends beyond the vocal cords. pg.559
