We also collecting general information and medical record so that we can analyse the effective factor and predict patient quality of life .We will stop recruiting until collect enough cases (expected to be 200 cases). 2.Comparing the QOL of patients through different treatment (e.g.partial laryngectomy, irradiation as primary therapy, laryngectomy, laryngectomy and radiotherapy ) then , discuss the pros and cons of every treatment methods aimed to help doctors find out the most suitable one considering the characteristics of different patients.
