Summary
This research is conducted with the aim of improving the quality of life of laryngectomized patients and their entourage. Worldwide, there are 185,000 new cases of laryngeal cancer per year. In Europe, between 2000 and 2007, the crude annual incidence rates of these cancers were 4.6/100,000 with a 5-year survival rate of 61%. In France, about 30 to 35% of cancers of the upper aerodigestive tract are localized to the larynx, or about 43,000 cases per year. Most patients are men (89%) between 50 and 70 years old. One of the treatments for these cancers is to perform an excision of the larynx thus removing the entire tumor, it is the total laryngectomy. The trachea is thus permanently removed from the skin and the digestive tract becomes independent.
