Macmillan and Cancerbackup merged in 2008. Together we provide free, high quality information for people affected by cancer through our publications, website and phone service. Find out more|.
Find out how we produce our information|
After your treatment has ended, your cancer specialist will ask you to go back to the hospital for regular check-ups and possibly scans or x-rays. These will often continue for several years. If you have any problems or notice any new symptoms in between appointments, let your doctor know as soon as possible.
For people whose treatment is over apart from regular check-ups, our section on adjusting to life after cancer treatment| gives useful information and advice.
Two things that may increase your risk of cancer of the larynx coming back are smoking and alcohol. Your cancer specialist or GP can advise you on your alcohol intake and give information on how to stop smoking. There is also a free NHS smoking helpline| and QUIT|, which both give help and support if you are trying to give up smoking.
