title: Clinical relevance of histological grading of cancer of the larynx.
abstract: Primary biopsies from 52 patients with cancer of the larynx were examined by two pathologists working independently. The malignancy of each case was graded twice with an interval of 1--1 1/2 month according to a histological scoring system elaborated by Jacobsson. The reproducibility of the system was found poor for individual prognostic purposes and no connection between histological grade and clinical course was demonstrated.
