[Three- and five-years-follow-up of combined therapy of advanced carcinoma of the larynx (author's transl)].
It is reported the follow-up of 163 laryngectomized patients with advanced squamous carcinoma of the larynx. 93 of them have been irradiated pre- and postoperatively by 3.000 rad at a time. In this way the laryngectomy followed the preoperative irradiation immediately. 70 patients have been irradiated by 6.000 rad postoperatively. The comparative study of both groups showed, that patients with preoperatively irradiated carcinomas of the supraglottic space reached the three- and five-years in a higher percentage than those irradiated postoperatively alone. The postoperative mortality rate and the degree of healing-complications was higher in the group of preoperatively irradiated patients but not as high as it is published by other authors.
