Abstract

This Policy Review summarises an expert Delphi consensus process on larynx-preservation treatments in patients affected by intermediate-to-advanced laryngeal or hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. The experts, who represented all perspectives involved in multidisciplinary management of these patients and included patient representatives, approved 137 consensus statements that cover several relevant areas in the field of larynx-preserving treatments. Statements are grouped in the following topics: granular indications for T2-T3 cancer, indications for T4a cancer, indications for salvage organ-preservation surgery after chemoradiation failure, laryngeal function at baseline, which comorbidities are contraindications and to what extent, organ preservation in older patients: selection criteria, post-treatment surveillance, prognostic and predictive factors, listening to the patient's preferences: tools and implementation, prehabilitation and rehabilitation protocols, and cost-effectiveness of different laryngeal preservation approaches. We present a high-level summary of the results of the consensus process, with detailed reference to the full list of statements and supporting literature.

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2026-04-05:

  • The use, from an academic perspective evidenced by the Altmetric agency indicator referring to aggregations made by the personal bibliographic manager Mendeley, gives us a total of: 23.
  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 23 (PlumX).

With a more dissemination-oriented intent and targeting more general audiences, we can observe other more global scores such as:

  • The Total Score from Altmetric: 10.
  • The number of mentions on the social network X (formerly Twitter): 14 (Altmetric).
