Carcinoma of the endolarynx: results of irradiation.
Irradiation at the University of Michgan in the 1960's was carried out in 192patients with endolaryngeal carcinoma.  Thirty-two and 66% of the cases were located inthe supreaglottic and glottic regions respectively.  Cases were classified in stages appropiate TNM GROUPING.  Results were analyzed with respect to tumor location, size, anddose-time relationship.  Early lesions were controlled more often than advanced ones.  Radical surgery to the primary and/or neck improved overall survival, which was 89% at 5years for 127 glottic carcinoma cases and 61% for 61 patients with supraglottic tumors.  No significant complications were found following radiation therapy.
