Laryngeal cancer is less common than other types of cancer, but there is still a relation between asbestos exposure and the disease, particularly in people with other risk factors such as smoking or drinking. Laryngeal cancer is diagnosed in about 13,500 people every year in the US, and 60% of them live longer than five years.
