title: [Critical retrospective evaluation of the treatment of 400 patients with laryngeal cancer].
abstract: This retrospective study deals with the outcome of 401 patients with laryngeal carcinoma who were treated between 1975 and 1986 either by operation alone or by operation and irradiation. The patients as a group, the concepts of treatment, and the course of disease as found retrospectively are described. T and N categories are compared with the respective pT and pN categories: T and pT categories corresponded in 83.3% of the cases while there was only a 67.4% correspondence between each N and pN category. The survival rates using the Kaplan-Meier estimation according to the localization and extension of laryngeal tumor, pN category and method of resection are discussed in detail.
