Epidermoid carcinoma of the larynx. VI. Histologic grading in the clinical evaluation.
A multifactorial microscopic grading of malignancy was performed on a clinically well examined series of 129 patients with laryngeal carcinoma. The microscopic score was statistically significantly correlated to the frequency or regional lymph-node metastases and to the death rate. It afforded important supplementary information for the T-classification and for the prognosis. Microscopic grading is an essential supplement to the clinical evaluation of risk groups.
