To diagnose cancer of the larynx, your doctor will examine your throat and ask about your symptoms. You may be referred to a specialist in ear, nose and throat conditions who may do the following tests:an indirect laryngoscopy-putting a small mirror into your mouth to look at the back of your throat and your larynx; a nasoendoscopy-passing a narrow, flexible, tube-like telescopic camera into your nose and down the back of your throat to see your larynx. A biopsy may be taken(a small sample of tissue is removed).If your specialist has confirmed a diagnosis of laryngeal cancer, you may need further tests to find out the extent of your primary tumour and check whether the cancer has spread to other parts of your body.
