[Problems of early diagnosis of carcinoma of the cancer of the larynx (author's transl)].
Using the anamneses of 1231 patients with laryngeal carcinoma, who were treated in the ORL-clinic at the University om Halle, we investigated the relations among the duration of the anamneses, the place and the stage (TNM-system) of the tumor at the first registration. The causes of the neglection by the patient, the family doctor and the medical specialist are pointed at, and the possibilities for a modern laryngological diagnosis are given. An improvement of the early registration of patients with laryngeal carcinoma cannot be proved in the area of this clinic during the period from 1940 to 1974.
