Laryngeal cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors of the head and neck. Most laryngeal cancer patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage and the prognosis is usually poor. Although total laryngectomy combined with high-intensity radiotherapy provides a cure opportunity for laryngeal cancer patients, total laryngectomy may lead to loss of speech ability and change of breathing channels, etc., which seriously affects the quality of life of patients. With the continuous in-depth research on the treatment of laryngeal cancer at home and abroad, new treatment techniques such as induction chemotherapy, concurrent chemoradiotherapy and biological therapy have been developed. The purpose of this paper is to review the drugs used in the treatment of laryngeal cancer and provide reference for clinical treatment.
