Laryngeal spindle cell carcinoma: A population‐based analysis of incidence and survival

Laryngeal spindle cell carcinoma (LSpCC) is a rare variant of squamous cell carcinoma. Surgery is the reported mainstay of treatment, but previous analyses failed to demonstrate survival outcomes by therapeutic modality. This study aims to carry out the largest population‐based analysis of this histology to determine tumor characteristics, incidence, survival, and prognostic indicators.
