Laryngeal Carcinoma

Back to Diseases List

Overview

NCI Definition: Carcinoma that arises from the laryngeal epithelium. More than 90% of laryngeal carcinomas are squamous cell carcinomas. The remainder are adenoid cystic carcinomas, mucoepidermoid carcinomas and carcinomas with neuroendocrine differentiation. [1]

Laryngeal carcinomas most frequently harbor alterations in TP53, CDKN2A, PIK3CA, KMT2D, and CCND1 [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Laryngeal Carcinoma

TP53 Mutation, TP53 c.217-c.1178 Missense, TP53 Missense, PIK3CA Mutation, and TP53 Exon 5 Mutation are the most common alterations in laryngeal carcinoma [2].
