In patients under 40, laryngeal cancer is uncommon, and both its clinical profile and therapeutic outcomes are not well characterized. Objective: To describe the epidemiological, histological, therapeutic, and evolutionary features of laryngeal cancer in young patients treated at Hassan II University Hospital, Fez.
Methods: A retrospective descriptive study was conducted from January 2012 to December 2024. Inclusion criteria were patients 40 years, histologically confirmed laryngeal cancer, and complete clinical records.
Conclusion: Laryngeal cancer in young patients is rare. Despite lower exposure to traditional risk factors,clinical, histological, and therapeutic characteristics mirror those of older patients
