Introduction: The squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx is a frequent neoplasms within otorhinolaryngology Currently the age standardized incidence of Chile for laryngeal cancer is based on the cancerpopulation registration of the province of Los Lagos (International Agency for Research on Cancer - WHO), which is 1.3 x 100,000 inhabitants. Aim: To estimate the incidence of laryngeal cancer in Chile using a digital registry form in hospitals and clinics of the country that diagnose and treat this condition between September 2015 and September 2016. Material and method: A descriptive prospective study was conducted. We use a digital registration form. We included patients with clinical diagnosis of laryngeal cancer between September 2015 and September 2016. Data was analyzed with descriptive statistics. Results: A total of 134 squamous cell carcinomas of the larynx were registered. 15 (11%) were female and 119 (89%) were male, with a mean age of65years. The incidence was of 2.13 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, and the age-standardized incidence was of 2.12 per 100,000 inhabitants. Conclusion: In this study the incidence is greater than the one reported in other registrations. It is necessary a more representative population registration of the national reality in order to estimate accurately the cancer cases in the country.
