title: Larynx cancer: a therapeutic policy at the Madras Cancer Institute.
abstract: We studied 145 cases of larynx cancer in relation to their etiology, methods of treatment, and results. It was found that better results were obtained with a combination of radiotherapy and surgery. Any postradiational edema of the larynx should subside within 3 months. If this edema persists or progresses, it always means residual disease in the submucosal plane. We have now improved our results by using intravenous Bleomycin concurrently.
