    The document discusses the two main systems, TNM and number classification, used to stage laryngeal cancer depending on its location. The TNM system stages cancer based on the size of the tumor (T), if it has spread to lymph nodes (N), and if it has metastasized (M). The number staging system also considers the tumor size and spread. Both systems are used to stage cancer in the supraglottis, glottis, and subglottis areas of the larynx.
