Background <p>Laryngeal cancer (LC) is among the most prevalent tumors of the respiratory tract. In recent years, the implementation of non-surgical treatments like radiotherapy and chemotherapy has significantly enhanced the therapeutic outcomes for LC. Nevertheless, the underlying therapeutic mechanisms remain unclear, posing a hindrance to the progression of subsequent treatment strategies.</p> Objectives <p>To explore the potential mechanisms from existing effective treatments for LC and identify relevant targets, thereby providing guidance for subsequent therapeutic research on LC.</p> Methods <p>This study focuses on ferroptosis, a common type of non-apoptotic cell death that is closely linked to various malignancies. It examines the relationship between ferroptosis and LC by analyzing how regulating ferroptosis-related targets in LC cells can influence the development of the cancer.</p> Results <p>There is a strong association between ferroptosis and LC. Regulating the targets related to ferroptosis in LC cells can effectively counteract the progression of LC.</p> Conclusions <p>Taking ferroptosis as an entry point, analyzing its potential mechanism in inhibiting LC can provide a direction for the treatment of laryngeal cancer, which may contribute to the improvement of therapeutic strategies for this disease.</p>
