The incidence of thyroid gland involvement in laryngopharyngeal cancer ranges from 0 to 23%. Therefore, ipsilateral hemithyroidectomy and isthmusectomy are routinely performed with total laryngectomy in many clinics. Hemithyroidectomy causes hypothyroidism in 63% of patients, and if combined with radiotherapy, the incidence increases to 89% of patients. But there is no consensus about using thyroid surgery in the treatment of laryngopharyngeal cancer. The purpose of this study was to identify criteria to use in the decision of whether, in cases of laryngopharyngeal cancer, hemithyroidectomy should be performed with total laryngectomy.
