What Are The Treatment Options Other Than Surgery For Tumor In Voice Box?

sir my wife,aged 44 years is having schwnomma in her voice box attached to the left vocal cord, latest MRI dated 17/01/2014 is showing 80-90% narrowing. she is having breathing problem and have started snoring during day time. She had undergone two surgeries for removal of the tumor but due to some professional negligence, as MRI was not done before the second surgery, it could not be removed as it was found to be located in the voice box.Now it is obstructing the breathing while narrowing the voice box by 80-90%, doctors are advising to go for surgery and to remove the voice box. with this she will loose her voice permanently. If u have any alternate course of action?

failed conservative surgeries, persistent carcinoma needs laryngectomy(voice box removal). some surgeries are there with conservation of voice (prosthesis placement during surgery). go ahead.
