About this condition

Carcinoma in situ of the larynx is an early cancer stage where abnormal cells are found only in the surface layer of the voice box and have not spread deeper. Chronic hoarseness is the most common symptom, especially in smokers and heavy drinkers. Early detection and treatment, often with surgery or radiation, can preserve voice function and prevent invasive cancer.
