title: [Cancer of the larynx].
abstract: Cancer of the larynx and total laryngectomies have devastating consequences on the patient and his/her family. During a specialized field placement in family nursing care, the author used the Calgary Family Assessment Model to better understand the relationship between the disease, the surgical procedure and the resulting family dynamics. She found that nursing interventions not only helped the family regain a sense of balance but facilitated the patient's adjustment process.
