The aim of this work was to increase the effectiveness of diagnosis and treatment of patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx stage I-II in association with laryngopharyngeal reflux.

Based on pathomorphological studies, it was found that laryngopharyngeal reflux is associated with the development of a chronic inflammatory process in the laryngeal mucosa and the stimulation of hyperplasia of the integumentary epithelium.

The application of the developed therapeutic and diagnostic algorithm for patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx stage I-II in association with laryngopharyngeal reflux can increase the effectiveness of diagnosis and treatment by reducing the number of rela
