Carcinoma of the larynx. IV. Recurrences more than 5 years after primary treatment.
The annual frequency of recurrences appearing during the 5th to 10th year of observation was a little more than 1 per cent a year. A formula is described for calculating this frequency. Apart from one case all 12 late recurrences were ordinary recurrences and not new independent tumours. Mortality was almost exclusively attributable to causes other than carcinoma of the larynx.
