[Results of treatment of the cancer of the larynx at the ENT-University-Clinic, Halle/Saale, 1940 to 1969 (author's transl)].
The treatment-surgery and irradiation- of 722 patients with cancer of the larynx in the years 1940-1969 are being statistically evaluated. The classification was done accordingly to localisation, stage (TNM-system) and the kind of therapy. The evaluation of the results only considers the 5-years-healing. Surgical therapy and primary irradiation were confronted. The irradiation ranks equally to surgery only at stages I and II of the carcinoma of the vocal cords. Tumors at other localisation or at a different stage (III and IV) can only be successfully treated by surgery.
