The Centennial Conference on Laryngeal Cancer held in Toronto in May, 1974, was a success by all measurable standards. The Conference identified a great number of areas requiring continuing effort and the development of new knowledge. A standard reporting form for laryngeal cancer must be adopted throughout the world. Research in the field of laryngeal malignancy and its early diagnosis are to be emphasized. The radiological definition of the primary lesion must be improved, and the education of the public and the medical profession in the field of laryngeal diseases should be stressed. Improvement in the results of our therapy for patients with laryngeal cancer requires an intelligent international co‐operative effort.
