Abstract
Laryngeal dysplasia is a poorly understood pre-malignant condition that requires diligent surveillance, to ensure timely diagnosis and optimal management.
A dedicated laryngeal dysplasia clinic provides a platform for regular surveillance of these patients and for prospective data analysis.
Our follow-up strategy is different to the recommendations from the ENT-UK consensus document on laryngeal dysplasia but appears to be a reasonable approach.
The clinical appearance of the laryngeal lesion, histological grade of dysplasia and continual exposure to risk factors are factors in determining decision making for follow-up and re-biopsy.
Multi-centre prospective collection of data and analysis of outcomes will provide evidence for best practice.
